Eddie Nketiah 'passes up World Cup chance' after failing to switch allegiance from England

Ghana have reportedly decided against selecting Arsenal striker Eddie Nketiah for this year's World Cup in Qatar.

Nketiah is eligible to represent Ghana at international level but is said to be reluctant about switching his international allegiance. He enjoyed a tremendous youth career with England, scoring 16 goals in 17 caps to become the country's record U21 scorer.

Despite flourishing for the U21s, Nketiah is still waiting for his first cap at senior level. At just 23, there's still plenty of time for him to be called up by Gareth Southgate. He remains highly rated by the Gunners, who handed him a new long-term deal in the summer.
