Chelsea youngster Olise grateful to Crystal Palace playing brother for getting him into football | OneFootball

The younger brother of Crystal Palace midfielder Michael Olise is making his way with Chelsea's U18s.

Richard Olise plays primarily as a fullback with Ed Brands' squad.

He told chelseafc.com: " have basically been playing football my whole life. I started out playing Sunday league football from a very early age and then at the age of six I was scouted by Chelsea and here I am today. Specifically, though, I would say probably my older brother Michael, who now plays at Crystal Palace.

"I would love to be mentored by Reece James. He could definitely help me with my crossing ability and get me to a level where I am a constant threat if given the opportunity to deliver balls into the box.

"I really want to improve my one-vs-one attacking. In today's game full-backs need to be able to attack and I think if I can improve that, it will help my game tremendously."
