Arsenal Star, Eddie Nketiah has stated that he is open to representing Ghana's Black Stars at international level as he has Ghanaian roots.
Nketiah, was born in Lewisham, England to Ghanaian parents Elizabeth Asaam and Edward Nketiah.
However, this makes the 25-year-old eligible to play for Ghana but Eddie Nketiah who has featured for England's U18 and U21 and was handed his first appearance with the Three Lions in a 1-0 friendly win over Australia on October 13, 2023.
He wanted the dream to continue with England but Nketiah has now opened the door widely for Otto Addo’s Black Stars.
“My parents are both Ghanaians, so yeah, of course, it’s a possibility, you know," Nketiah told the Beautiful game podcast.
“I think I’m open to both, whether that’s playing for Ghana and obviously England as well.
“Like you said, I’ve played for [England] youth team, so naturally, when I was obviously younger, it just made sense [to expect becoming a Three Lion].
“If they [Ghana] calle me up to go and play for them, I’ll be there.”
