Callum Hudson-Odoi gives update on international future with England and Ghana both in running to land ex-Chelsea winger
CALLUM HUDSON-ODOI has provided an update on his international future amid interest from Ghana.
The Nottingham Forest star has been capped three times by England.
All of his Three Lions call-ups came in 2019 and he has since been out of the international picture.
Under Fifa rules, the 22-year-old is still able to switch allegiance due to his age and him not playing in more than three competitive England fixtures.
He qualifies for Ghana through his parents and he could still pull on the Black Stars’ shirt.
Hudson-Odoi told The Telegraph: “That decision hasn’t been made yet. I’m still thinking it over.
“Ghana is a very good option but let’s wait and see.
“Hopefully once I start playing games here, maybe Gareth [Southgate] or Ghana will come.
“It’s a nice position to be in and hopefully sooner or later we will know.”
Hudson-Odoi has represented England throughout the youth age groups and he was part of the Under-17 side that won the World Cup six years ago.

His manager back then was Steve Cooper and the winger revealed he played a key role in convincing him to join his side Forest from Chelsea in a £3million deal with £2m potentially coming in add-ons.
Hudson-Odoi played 126 times for the Blues and scored 16 goals.
He was loaned out to Bundesliga outfit Bayer Leverkusen last term but found the back of the net just once in 21 games.
Hudson-Odoi could make his Nottingham Forest debut tonight versus Burnley.
