Michael Ollis, a rising star in English football and a standout player for Crystal Palace in London, is poised to become one of the first targets for the Algerian Football Federation (FAF).
Wearing the number seven jersey and delivering performances of exceptional quality, Ollis, who is of Algerian and Nigerian descent, born in France, and a resident of Britain, is seen as a key target for the FAF to infuse new energy into the national team.
With a unique blend of heritage, Ollis has garnered attention from FAF sources, suggesting the possibility of him choosing Algeria as his international allegiance.
The footballer has been closely following the developments of the Algerian national team for an extended period.
Notably, Ollis expressed positive remarks about the squad selected by coach Djamel Belmadi for the Africa Cup of Nations in Ivory Coast.
While he refrained from commenting on any specific lineup through his personal account, many enthusiasts speculate that Ollis could potentially be the successor to Riyad Mahrez if he decides to represent the Algerian national team.
The ongoing discussions and anticipation around Ollis present an exciting prospect for Algerian football enthusiasts, raising hopes for a strengthened and dynamic national team.
Should Ollis commit to donning the green colors, his potential inclusion is expected to make a significant impact, starting from the training camp scheduled for June.
