Chelsea could be in hot water! Crystal Palace considering reporting Blues over 'illegal approach' of Michael Olise

Crystal Palace are said to be considering reporting Chelsea over their approach of Michael Olise.

Officials at Crystal Palace are said to have been 'aggravated' by Chelsea's approach for Michael Olise, with it reported earlier today that the Blues had triggered the midfielder's release clause of £35 million ($44.5m). According to the Daily Mail, the Eagles are said to be considering a formal complaint amid concerns that Chelsea have illegally 'tapped up' Olise over a potential move.

Having been sanctioned for their approach of Ashley Cole back in 2005, it is not the first time officials at the club have landed in hot water over breaking the rules regarding transfer rulings.

Despite signing Moises Caicedo on Monday, Mauricio Pochettino's side are still in the market for further reinforcements this summer, with Southampton midfielder Romeo Lavia also touted for a potential move to west London. Despite Palace's concerns, Olise seems set to join Chelsea in the near future.
