Olise could play on the right wing for Bayern Munich, as he did for Crystal Palace.

That would put him in the mould of modern Bayern great Arjen Robben, who also loved to cut in to shoot on his left foot.

“He is so graceful,” former West Ham and Scotland midfielder Don Hutchison told BBC Radio 5 Live late last season.

Ex-England and Liverpool defender Jamie Carragher called him a “superstar”.

Olise hit 10 goals last season for Crystal Palace, despite him missing over half the campaign with two serious hamstring injuries. Only Kane – who scored 44 goals – and Jamal Musiala, with 12, scored more for Bayern.

Last season Musiala, Leroy Sane, Mathys Tel, Kingsley Coman, Serge Gnabry and Bryan Zaragoza, a January signing from Granada, all spent time on the Bayern wings.

But they failed to win the Bundesliga title for the first time in over a decade, so reinforcements were needed.

Sane, Kane and Olise could be the front three for Kompany, who replaced Thomas Tuchel after they lost the title to Bayer Leverkusen.

Olise played 90 times for Crystal Palace, with 16 goals and 25 assists in his three years at the club, following an £8m move from Reading.

Last season was the first time he hit double figure for goals, with his best form coming at the end of the campaign under Oliver Glasner.

But 2022-23 was arguably his best season as he was named Palace’s Players’ Player of the Year and became their first player to reach 10 assists or more in a Premier League campaign.
