Michael Olise impressed in France’s final friendly before the World Cup, bagging a hat-trick in a 3-1 win over Northern Ireland on Monday evening.

“We’ll need a Michel Olise at that level,” Deschamps said, according to AFP.

“Michael stands out because of the season he has had at Bayern and with us.

“He has achieved some really great things, he is full of confidence. He also has the ability to put in the effort, which is remarkable,” he continued.

Olise has seven goals and three assists in 17 games for France, who face Senegal in their World Cup opener on June 16.
