Exciting prospect Paolo Odogwu could be about to snub England and instead pledge his international allegiance to Italy.
The 25-year-old, from Coventry, was made redundant by Wasps last week and teams from across Europe, including Benetton Treviso, are now interested in signing him. The outside centre who can also play on the wing qualifies to play for Italy through his father.
He was approached by the Italians ahead of last year's Six Nations but chose to join England and spent eight weeks training with Eddie Jones ' side. However, he was left out of their matchday squads meaning he could still change allegiances ahead of next year's World Cup in France.
