Crystal Palace boss Vieira: France or England for Olise? | OneFootball

Crystal Palace boss Patrick Vieira says he hasn't spoken to Michael Olise about his international plans.

Olise qualifies for England, though is a France youth international.

France World Cup winner Vieira said: "No, this is a decision that he has to make as a player and it is a family decision. He didn't come to me to ask me for any kind of advice.

"What is important for Michael is that yes, at the moment he is playing well, but his focus and concentration has to be on Crystal Palace and how to work well in training and keep performing like he's been doing in the last couple of games."

Vieira also said: "When he was at Reading and I was talking to the manager at the time he really believed that Michael has the quality to play in the Premier League.

"So it was just about creating this kind of place where he can keep improving himself. We knew how good he was. He was injured when he arrived so he had a couple of difficult first months because of the injury - he couldn't train, he couldn't play.

"So he was really frustrated. But he managed to get back on the field and his work ethic is unbelievable. He is a young player who wants to spend time on the field and wants to improve himself and the more games that he plays then the more confidence he'll get in his ability to perform at this level. He's managed to earn the trust of his teammates and he's in a really good place. He's playing well, he is enjoying this football and he is good for us and for the team."
