Reporter: What do you expect from the Bundesliga, do you think it will be different in comparison to the Premier League and does it fit your own qualities?
Olise: I think it will probably be a bit different, but... yeah I don't know.
Insightful stuff.
He also gave an equally in depth answer when asked if he saw himself as more of a goalscorer or creative player.
