'Unbelievable' Michael Olise hailed as Bundesliga's best signing in 10 years

Former World Cup winner Christoph Kramer has heaped praise on Bayern Munich winger Michael Olise, calling the French attacker the greatest Bundesliga transfer of the past decade. Speaking to Amazon Prime on the night of Bayern's away first-leg tie against Atalanta in the Champions League, Kramer said: "He is for me even perhaps the best transfer of the Bundesliga of the last 10 years." Olise moved from Crystal Palace for 53 million in July 2024 and has reshaped Vincent Kompany's frontline.

Kramer defended the fee, arguing the player's output makes the deal unbelievable in terms of price-performance: "I know, we always talk about large sums. But still: price-performance, what this player gives a team - that is unbelievable." Kramer highlighted Olise's sophisticated wing play, noting his ability to retain possession and find solutions in tight spaces — traits not common in traditional wingers.

He praised the 24-year-old's decision-making: "He does everything right. He knows when where the ball belongs.
