Crystal Palace forward Michael Olise is set to close the door on representing his father's home country at the international level, Soccernet.ng reports.

The 22-year-old, born in England to a Nigerian father and a French-Algerian mother , is eligible to play for England, Nigeria, France, and Algeria.

Having represented France at the youth level-France U-18 and U-21-Olise is now eyeing further representation of the country at the senior level.

According to Germany-based journalist Florian Plettenberg, Olise is considering representing France at the upcoming Summer Olympics after being snubbed for the Euro 2024 squad.

The hope of representing Nigeria was raised when Didier Deschamps omitted him from the Euro 2024 squad despite his impressive performances during his club's 2023-24 season campaign.
