Callum Hudson-Odoi has said he is seriously considering his international future amid speculation that he could be named to Ghana’s World Cup squad.
The former England youth international has already made three appearances for the Three Lions, but under new Fifa rules, if those appearances occur before a player turns 21, as is the case with Hudson Odoi, he can switch allegiance.
Hudson-Odoi, who is on loan from Chelsea to Bayer Leverkusen, last played for England on November 17, 2019, in a European qualifying match against Kosovo. He hasn’t been invited since, missing out on Euro 2020 last year and is reportedly not on Gareth Southgate’s list of players for the upcoming World Cup in Qatar.
In an interview with BBC, Hudson-Odoi was asked if talks had taken place with Ghana, Hudson-Odoi said: “Nothing I would say at the moment on camera, I would love to tell you, but I couldn’t say.
“Nothing I would say at the moment on camera, I would love to tell you, but I couldn’t say.
“At the moment it’s more just focusing on the best I can do here. You never know what will happen in the future.
“Obviously the Ghana-England situation has been on my mind for a while. But I think right now it was more of the focus of coming here, really getting myself back into shape, playing a lot of games and just feeling like myself. Right now my mind is just open.”
Hudson-Odoi’s parents are both from Ghana, and he travels there whenever he can. His last visit was in 2021 after winning the Champions League with Chelsea.
