This followed the decision of Didier Deschamps to leave Olise out of his squad for Euro 2024. Olise was born in Hammersmith to a Nigerian father and French-Algerian mother. This means he is eligible to represent all four countries at international level. But according to Henry, he prefers to play for France.
Henry said: 'We know that he has plenty of possibilities but he wants to play for France. You have to highlight his desire to show that he wants to play for the French team. 'If he was English, he would have already left to play for England. He could have made the other choice and played the Euros with the England team, like his team-mate Eberechi Eze at Crystal Palace but he wants to play for France, knowing that he wouldn't play in the Euros.
