Transfer round-up: Bayern secure Olise from Palace

Michael Olise has set his sights on winning silverware with Bayern Munich after completing his move from Crystal Palace.

Olise has signed a five-year contract with the German giants, who also have England captain Harry Kane in their ranks and are managed by former Burnley boss Vincent Kompany.

The 22-year-old winger joined Palace from Reading in July 2021 and made 90 appearances for the Eagles, scoring 16 goals.

“The talks with FC Bayern were very positive and I’m very happy to now be playing for such a big club,” Olise told his new club’s website.

“It’s a great challenge and that’s exactly what I was looking for.

“I want to prove myself at this level and play my part in ensuring that we win as many titles as possible with our team in the coming years.”

Palace chairman Steve Parish said: “We are hugely proud of what Michael has achieved at Crystal Palace, a club where he has developed greatly as a player.

“We respect his desire to further test himself at the highest level of world football, and I would like to personally wish him the very best for his next adventure with Bayern Munich in Germany which I’m sure we will all follow closely.”

Michael Golding has been unveiled as a Leicester City player

Leicester have signed Michael Golding on a four-year deal from Chelsea.

The 18-year-old midfielder made one senior appearance at Chelsea, coming on as a substitute in a 4-0 FA Cup win over Preston in January.

“I’m really looking forward to making leaps and bounds in my career here at Leicester and working hard to help the team as much as I can,” Golding told the Leicester website.

“Obviously the history of the club speaks for itself. There are great players here and I’m looking to soak up as much information as I can from the senior players, to learn from the staff and hopefully have a great season.”

Golding captained England at the 2023 European Under-17 Championships in Hungary and has also been capped at Under-16 and Under-18 level.

Brighton have signed Arsenal youngster Amario Cozier-Duberry on a contract until 2028.

The 19-year-old attacking wide midfielder scored 13 goals for Arsenal’s Under-21 side last season and was an unused first-team substitute against Brentford in the Carabao Cup and Sevilla in the Champions League.
