Olise joins Bayern on five-year deal
Michael Olise has signed a five-year deal with German giants Bayer Munich after completing his move from Premier League side Crystal Palace.
Olise played half of Palace’s Premier League matches last season as he was hampered with a hamstring injury.
The 22-year-old English-born France Under-21 forward made 90 appearances in all competitions over three seasons with Palace.
He joined the Eagles from Reading for £8m in July 2021.

“I’m very happy to now be playing for such a big club – it’s a great challenge and that’s exactly what I was looking for,” said Olise.
“I want to prove myself at this level and play my part in ensuring we win as many titles as possible in the coming years.”
Olise scored 10 goals in 19 Premier League appearances as Palace finished 10th in the table last season.
He will be featuring for France at the Olympics, having been selected for the competition which starts in Paris later this month.
