He is super talanted: Musiala welcomes new Bayern signing with Chelsea connection

Bayern Munich's latest signing, Michael Olise, has received a glowing endorsement from his new teammate, Jamal Musiala.

The two players share a history, having spent time together at Chelsea Academy, and Musiala is thrilled to reunite with his old friend.

"We used to play together at Chelsea Academy; it was nice," Musiala fondly recalled. "He's super talented. His skills are excellent."

Olise, who joins Bayern from Crystal Palace in a £45 million deal, plus £5 million in add-ons, scored 11 goals for Crystal Palace last season, something Musiala took notice of.

"He has scored many goals at Palace. So, I'm happy that he's joining Bayern, and I can't wait to play with him again."

Chelsea were keen on Olise but ultimately the player chose to go abroad with a chance to elevate his standing by playing for a bigger club and one in the UEFA Champions League.

There is no doubt Bayern and new manager Vincent Kompany have pulled off a great signing and next season should be an exciting one as they look to wrestle the league title back from Bayer Leverkusen.
