Michael Olise

Michael Olise is one of the most technically refined forwards of his generation — a right-sided attacker whose close control, dribbling, and ability to cut inside onto his left foot made him a standout at Crystal Palace before Bayern Munich paid heavily to sign him in 2024. Born in London to a French father, he chose France over England, and his flair and directness give Julian Nagelsmann's — sorry, Didier Deschamps' side a creative unpredictability from wide areas. At 24, he is still developing his consistency at the highest level, but his technical ceiling is among the highest in this French squad.
