The international future of Crystal Palace midfielder Michael Olise is still unresolved despite an invitation from Nigeria in March for the final two games of the qualifiers for the Africa Cup of Nations.
Olise who was at Reading back then was placed on standby by coach of the Nigerian team Gernot Rohr with the coach confident that he will be a part of the team as soon as they are able to resolve some adminstrative issues.
However that happens not to be the case again as the player who is eligible for Nigeria, England, France and Algeria is now leaning more towards playing for Algeria ahead of Nigeria.
His agent is behind the move for him to play for Algeria as he is unhappy over the manner the coach of the Nigerian team Rohr approached the player without his knowledge.
He initially alerted the French authority about the availability of Olise but they don’t seem interested in the left footed midfielder who scored his first English Premier League goal yesterday in a 2-2 draw against Leicester City.
England don’t seem interested as well but Algeria are still weighing up getting giving him a chance with Nigeria also not out of the picture yet as more talks will take place with his family led by his Nigerian father.
