Callum Hudson-Odoi chooses England over Ghana

Despite the excitement, the former Chelsea star appears to be keeping his options open.

After earning three caps for England early in his career, per Transfermarkt, Hudson-Odoi remains eligible to represent Ghana due to FIFA’s nationality switch regulations, having not featured for the Three Lions in over two years.

In an interview with the BBC, the 24-year-old clarified where his allegiance currently is regarding his international future:

“If the possibility and chance [for England] comes – I will have to go there and prove myself all over again,” he said, indicating his desire to return to the fold under Gareth Southgate.
