TRANSFER GOSSIP: West Ham ramp up their interest in Ajax talent Mohammed Kudus, Chelsea considers Jeremy Doku in the wake of missing out on Michael Olise, and Man City snaps up a £1M wonderkid

As the transfer window enters its final weeks, Premier League deals - or lack thereof - still have the power to shock.

On Wednesday morning, Crystal Palace winger Michael Olise seemed a dead cert to join the ever-swelling ranks at Chelsea, but by nightfall, the France international had a brand new contract and seems set to stay on at Selhurst Park for the next four years.

Palace's retention of their starlet creates a gap in the Blues' transfer planning, and the west London club are set to restart their search at pace, with Nottingham Forest's Brennan Johnson among those in their sights.
