"I was shocked," ex-Arsenal star Paul Merson told Sky Sports about Michael Olise snubbing Chelsea this summer.
"It might have been because he was at Chelsea before that could’ve been the reason.
"But for me the whole idea is to move up the ladder surely you got to make hay while the sun shines. Form can come and go very quickly a couple of bad games here and there.
"We’re talking about Zaha eight, nine, ten months ago was available on a free transfer who was going to have him? He couldn’t go back to Man Utd, will Arsenal have him? Tottenham might take him if they don’t?
"All of a sudden, no disrespect, he’s playing at Galatasaray in the Turkish league and you’re quite shocked. I hope the kid has got it right."
Instead of going to Chelsea, Olise has chosen to sign a new contract with Crystal Palace, who threatened to take Chelsea to a tribunal over an inappropriate approach.
