Latest link to attacker from Fabrizio Romano will have Chelsea fans dreaming

The latest links to another attacking player by transfer expert Fabrizio Romano late last night will certainly have Chelsea fans dreaming this summer.

Could the dream become a reality though? It absolutely has a chance to.

Chelsea fans will be dreaming this summer of going into next season with an attacking front three of Cole Palmer, Christopher Nkunku, and Michael Olise behind a potential new striker, with names such as Victor Osimhen strongly linked right now.

Where did Crystal Palace’s Michael Olise come from in all of this? Well, Romano has name dropped him with Chelsea last night!

Romano dropped the big update on his YouTube channel and he had a segment on Olise. It’s mainly centered around the interest in him from Manchester United, but he also mentions that Olise is appreciated by Chelsea ahead of the summer.

He has a release clause that can be tiggered by any club this summer that is around £60m, which for a player of Olise’s quality is not a bad fee at all.

Chelsea fans dream

Personally, I think a front attacking midfield three of Nkunku on the left, Palmer in the middle, and Olise on the right would be absolutely mouthwatering and a world class attacking midfield.

Only then would Chelsea need to invest in a new centre forward to come in and challenge Nicolas Jackson would they have a dream attack. I believe this summer they genuinely have a chance to build that almost perfect (because nothing is ever 100% perfect) attack.

Some believe Chelsea already have too many attackers, but personally I think if we truly want to compete at the very top then we need to upgrade on players like Raheem Sterling, Noni Madueke, and Mykhailo Mudryk. The latter two could stay for squad depth, I’d be happy with that. But I don’t think at the moment they are starters to elevate us.
