Last season, despite being hampered by injuries, Olise managed to score 10 goals and provide six assists in 19 appearances. Speaking about the move, Olise said, "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."

Although born in England, Olise has represented France at the Under-21 level and has been selected for the France squad for the upcoming Paris Olympics, set to start in July.
