MUNICH — Bayern Munich has signed 22-year-old forward Michael Olise from Crystal Palace. It's seeking new blood after its first season without a trophy in 12 years. Olise has a five-year contract. He scored 10 goals in 19 Premier League games last season, despite missing much of the year with injuries, and was crucial to a strong run for Palace toward the end of the campaign. The long-awaited move makes Olise the second new signing to be confirmed since Bayern hired Vincent Kompany to coach the team, following Japanese defender Hiroki Ito from Stuttgart.
