While he has impressed s from the right flank, Olise told French outlet L'Equipe that he enjoys dictating play from the middle and believes that role best suits his natural game.

 "Where do I feel most comfortable? I think it’s as a number 10. It’s a freer role. I grew up playing as a number 10,” he said.

sSo for me, it feels more natural. Well, maybe not at the moment, because I’m playing on the wing today, but I think that’s what feels most natural to me."
