Jamal Musiala believes Bayern Munich's latest signing will do wonders at the club next season.

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.

Musiala thrilled to have Michael Olise at Bayern Munich

"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.
