Michael Olise isn’t just cooking on the pitch, his international background is just as crazy… 🤯⬇️
Olise was eligible to represent:
▪️ England 🏴 the country he was born in
▪️ France 🇫🇷 through his French-Algerian mother
▪️ Algeria 🇩🇿 via his mother’s roots
▪️ Nigeria 🇳🇬 through his father
▪️ Haiti 🇭🇹 also on his maternal side
That’s FIVE different nations he could’ve picked from 🌍
🗣️ Thierry Henry: “Why did Michael Olise choose France over England? Because he wanted France. It’s his dream.”
He played for both England and France at youth level, but when it came to the senior call, he chose France national football team 🇫🇷
Looks like it could pay off too, with France currently favourites to win the World Cup according to @PolyMarket 🏆
