Michael Olise is a French winger of Nigerian-French heritage who was born in London and developed through English academies. After starring at Crystal Palace, he joined Bayern Munich for approximately €60 million in 2024 and immediately became one of the Bundesliga's standout attackers.

Olise made his professional debut with Reading in 2019 before Crystal Palace signed him in 2021. Three productive seasons at Selhurst Park established him as one of Europe's most creative wingers, earning a PFA Young Player of the Year nomination in 2024. Bayern Munich signed him for around €60 million in July 2024 and he helped them win consecutive Bundesliga titles.
