Ghana's hopes of curbing talented young talent Callum Hudson-Odoi are almost over since the winger has been called for the first time in the senior English team.
Aged 18, whose father is the former Hearts of Oak player, Bismark Odoi, was one of the players targeted by the Ghanaian authorities for a change of nationality in the coming months.
The Chelsea winger was born to an English mother and a Ghanaian father. He is therefore eligible to play for Ghana but he must change his allegiance as he has already done for the English youth.
Despite a limited playing time with Chelsea coach Sarri, the young player has scored five times in 19 games in all competitions, although he has not yet taken off in the Premier League.
Hudson-Odoi was summoned this week by the U21s of England, but his coach Gareth Southgate invited him late to prepare for the European qualifiers against the Czech Republic and Montenegro. He is excited.
"It was a crazy day but my first outing [senior] The international appeal is an incredible feeling, "said Hudson-Odoi.
"The day was very long for me because I had to go to Bristol first for under 21, and then I was told that I had to come here to St. George's Park. crazy, but I'm delighted with the call and it's a nice feeling to be here too.
"I thought the manager [Aidy Boothroyd] I was joking. I was shocked and when I heard that I had to go further, I could not believe it. I was delighted. It's a dream come true.
"Now I have to work hard, enjoy every moment and continue working to hope to make an impact when I have the opportunity.
"Everyone here is very humble and they are very kind.They make sure you are comfortable, no one has ego here, so I hope in learn more about boys here. "
The call for the call puts an end to Ghana's pursuit for the extremely talented young player who could strengthen the Black Stars team in the future.
With the Africa Cup of Nations looming in Egypt, it was thought that coach Kwesi Appiah, who was playing alongside the father of Ghana's young player, could push for a change. of nationality for the winger.
If Husdon-Odoi makes his debut in the two matches scheduled in England from the weekend, he will not play for his father's country forever, because the rules of FIFA do not currently allow it.
