Arsenal forward Eddie Nketiah has revealed his openness to representing Ghana at the international level, despite having already earned a cap for England.
Nketiah, born in England to Ghanaian parents, has long been on the radar of the Ghana Football Association (GFA).
Speculation about Nketiah’s international future intensified in 2022 when he visited Ghana and reportedly acquired a Ghanaian passport. However, the discussions faded after he received a call-up to the England squad, where he made his debut in October 2022 during a match against Australia.
Despite this, Nketiah did not feature in subsequent Euro 2024 qualifiers or the friendly against Scotland, leading to questions about his future with the England team.
With limited opportunities for further England appearances, the 25-year-old striker has now expressed his willingness to consider playing for Ghana.
Speaking on the Beautiful Game podcast, Nketiah said, “Obviously, my parents are both Ghanaians, and I’m from a Ghanaian heritage. It’s a possibility; I’m open to both, whether that’s playing for Ghana or England as well.”
As Nketiah keeps his international options open, he is also reportedly close to finalizing a transfer from Arsenal to Crystal Palace, with the deal potentially reaching £30 million, according to transfer expert Fabrizio Romano.
