“Ghana is a good option, but….” – Callum Hudson-Odoi considering playing for Black Stars

Callum Hudson-Odoi has voiced his consideration of the prospect of playing for Ghana’s senior national team, the Black Stars despite having previously played for England.

Ghana has been keeping an eye on the 23-year-old, who recently signed with Nottingham Forest, and talks over his future on the international stage are still ongoing.

Hudson-Odoi, who was raised in Wandsworth, has represented England at various ages, most notably in 2017 when he helped Steve Cooper win the Under-17 World Cup.

Hudson-Odoi acknowledged that playing for Ghana is a “very good option,” but he is taking time to make the decision.

“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,” he told The Telegraph.

He also mentioned that once he starts playing for Nottingham Forest, the decision may become clearer.

Black Stars coach Chris Hughton confirmed earlier this year that he had established contact with both Hudson-Odoi and Arsenal forward Eddie Nketiah. Both players have previously represented England at various youth levels.

However, it is worth noting that Nketiah has since accepted his first senior invitation to the England national team. Unfortunately, Nketiah did not receive any playing time in the games under Coach Gareth Southgate, which leaves him eligible for selection by Ghana.
