Eddie Nketiah and Callum Hudson-Odoi to switch international allegiances in England snub

Arsenal's man of the moment Eddie Nketiah is expected to give up on any hopes of a senior England call-up and represent Ghana instead.

According to football.london, the Gunners striker has been granted a Ghanaian passport and will now represent the Black Stars alongside Chelsea star Callum Hudson-Odoi. The Blues forward is in a similar situation to Nketiah in that he has also been overlooked by Three Lions boss Gareth Southgate when the time comes to select the England senior squad despite impressing at Under-21 level.

Nketiah is the England U-21 all-time record goal-scorer with 16 strikes to his name, but that has not been enough to force his way into the senior fold. Given the fact he is yet to don the famous white strip for the senior side, he is therefore still eligible to play for Ghana.
