Michael Olise was voted best French player playing abroad after an impressive season for Bayern Munich. The French international was rewarded ahead of prestigious competition made up of Rayan Cherki (Manchester City), Hugo Ekitike (Liverpool), Kylian Mbappé (Real Madrid) and William Saliba (Arsenal).

After a full season in Germany, Olise quickly established himself as one of the most decisive players in the Bavarian squad by being voted best passer in the Bundesliga and the Champions League, with a total of 22 goals and 28 assists. A deserved trophy for the French international, who quickly established himself with the Blues. I am very grateful, I wanted to thank everyone at Bayern Munich, I can’t wait to give my all at the World Cup this summer, with the France teamhe blurted out League 1+.
