There´s a Jahmi Kellyman from Aston Villa in Northern Ireland´s U17 qualifiers squad, so suppose he´s Omari´s yoinger brother. Probably will stick with them considering his brother never really had a chance to play for England and basically wasted his one-time switch for some youth caps. Although I´ve heard some rumours (and I´ll leave it at that: rumours) that he had to deal with something that could be interpreted as racist remarks towards him and his family in Northern Ireland which made him shut down the door to represent them for good but again just some rumours I´ve come across at that time so who knows if this was the reasoning behind his early switch.
I think @horrisengleton had a good take on him last year: I responded then and still believe that this is a good take and he's exactly the kind of late-bloomer recruit that most enhances the player pool. Most of the EPL players in our pool tend to fit this late-blooming mold. He may not quite be "the Championship's best winger" as the article implies but he is quite good, certainly near the top of the division, and while already entering his prime and near peak of what he'll be could still be a fringe EPL contributor at some point soon. There is hesitation to add new players to the pool this late in qualifying, so I don't know that he will make it for this cycle unless he has papers in hand to join camp in November. But either way, it's a good addition.
Not on his nationality but Barcelona lead the chase for Marseille's England forward Mason Greenwood, though Tottenham and West Ham are also interested in the 24-year-old. (Teamtalk) Can’t say I will be pleased if he comes to West Ham.
He's having a good season is Mason-Clark. Would be a good pickup for Jamaica and there's every chance he'll be a PL player next season.
Jude Soonsup-Bell is switching to Thailand. https://www.londonworld.com/sport/football/chelsea/chelsea-tottenham-soonsup-bell-call-up-5377483
He could become a big star in Thailand and earn quite a lot of money through that. His career trajectory isn't looking that good at the moment with him falling down the levels and currently playing from the bench in League 2, could be the best move for his career. He'll probably go and play in the Thai league for a decent wage. Thailand also have another English dual in their squad that I've never heard of https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ben_Davis_(footballer,_born_2000)
As I suggested last year in the post below, this is his chance to be a "national starman" - if you have heritage from a sizable football mad country that isn't great at football, go all-in with a pedigree from a much stronger football nation + club system and become the big fish in the smaller pond. It's a smart play for him long term. Elkan Baggott (2.3 million IG followers), Zidane Iqbal (1.8 million IG followers) and now Hamza Choudhury (1.2 million IG followers) have all run this play to great success, and Iqbal has Iraq playing well enough to possibly net a world cup appearance in the process. Soonsup-Bell (112,000 IG followers - gotta get those numbers up!) is a good looking kid with a marketable profile and, while not a top tier league-caliber talent, more than enough ability to be a long-term positive contributor at or above the League 2 standard of play (which is basically where the analytics say the Thai Premier League is, do there's a long term option for him). And that's assuming he doesn't get any better (still only 21). Ben Davis (170,000 IG followers) has begun running this playbook pretty well early on and should be able to provide some tips. https://www.bigsoccer.com/threads/e...ality-thread-2.2111677/page-224#post-42258755 Nothing new. He does not want to play for Jamaica, and I maintain that Jamaica's last approach should have been his final opportunity to do so (we will see if Jamaica sticks to that).
I disagree. As a Coventry fan, we’ve actually used a lot of academy players over the last few seasons. Also we’ve bought a lot of English talent. The irony is, we may end up becoming a Fulham in the sense that most of our English players will declare for another country before they even get chance to test themselves in the premier league. Think we’ve got 5 or 6 players who have declared for other countries so far.
Talksport are saying Ghana are hoping to pressure Josh Acheampong to switch in time for the World Cup.
I would be surprised if he switches anytime soon, surely Ghana must have enquired before and been rebuffed. Having said that, it would be gutting to lose out on him over someone like Dan Burn who likely won’t be around after the World Cup. I mean if he continues to play a lot of minutes at Chelsea then it shouldn’t rule out Acheampong getting a call up but then again Tuchel won’t care about the long term unlike us.
Kieran Morrison making his full Liverpool debut tonight. He's 2006 born, from Manchester but capped by NI up to U21 level. Similar play style and appearance to Curtis Jones.
Chelsea defender Josh Acheampong is being courted by the Ghana national team ahead of the 2026 World Cup - The Sun.
Ghana can court him all they want. I tried to court Jessica Biel but I got an an injuction put out on me. It's not going to happen
This is about the 5th article/headline you've posted, that is essentially saying nothing. Just that Ghana are interested in Acheampong, which is obvious and has likely always been the case, as he's a good player and he's eligible for them. Them not holding an interest would be negligent.
Callum Osmand scored for Celtic, in the he Scottish cup semi finals pretty certain he's actually ineligible for Wales despite playing making an appearance, he's from Jersey and I think he qualifies for a England could be an option for the 21s this cycle.
I could be wrong on this, but I thought anyone born in the Channel Islands can represent any home nation?
No that's changed, there was a change in the home nations agreement, they need a link to one of the home nations to play for them.
Ahh right so they’re viewed as English in the eyes of the FA and fifa. I’ve always found it interesting how they would view their identity when it comes to international football. Like do they affiliate with and support England? Or do they generally support all home nations? They are an FA affiliate which would suggest they consider themselves England supporters, even though they aren’t strictly English.
