Bayern present ex-Eagles winger
Olise’s presentation comes just days after he suffered a heartbreak with the French U23s at the recently concluded Paris 2024 Olympics hosted by France.
Bayern’s latest star from France had just a few words to say following his presentation and feels welcomed in Bavaria.
“So far everything has been great,” he told the media. “I immediately felt welcome here. The coach is very good.”
The 22-year-old who ditched Nigeria and Super Eagles to play for France proved exactly why Bayern splashed the cash to lure him away from Premier League side Palace just before he departed for the global event.
Olise and France saw their Olympic dream crash in the final following a painful 5-3 defeat to Spain in an explosive match that needed extra time to separate both teams after a blistering 3-3 draw in regular time.
The winger scored two goals and provided five assists (including in the final against Spain) in six matches as France, the host country, was forced to settle for second and a silver medal.
Meanwhile, another Bayern winger of Nigerian descent Jamal Musiala cannot wait to take to the pitch alongside his compatriot and new teammate Olise.
Musiala is happy with Bayern’s latest investment who he believes will do great things at the Allianz Arena.
The two players share a history, having spent time together at Chelsea Academy, and Musiala, who shone for Germany at the recently concluded Euro 2024 also won by Spain, is thrilled to reunite with his old friend.
"We used to play together at Chelsea Academy; it was nice," Musiala recalled. "He's super talented. His skills are excellent."
