Africa-Press – Ghana. <\/strong><\/span>Chelsea winger Callum Hudson-Odoi will switch allegiance from England to Ghana if the African giants qualifies for the 2022 World Cup in Qatar.<\/p>\n

The 21-year-old is eligible for both nations and is yet to commit fully to either country.<\/p>\n

The winger has rejected a call-up into the England U21 squad to fuel reports he is tossing with the idea of representing Ghana at the international level.<\/p>\n

He has visited his native Ghana, the birth country of his parent twice in the past eight months amid reports he’s interested in switching allegiance.<\/p>\n

Odoi, who has represented England at the senior level on three occasions, is still eligible to switch per the FIFA regulations.<\/p>\n

The regulations say a player can switch to another national team if he has only earned three senior caps for the original team before the age of 21.<\/p>\n

However, Hudson-Odoi will switch allegiance to Ghana if the four-time African champions qualifies for the World Cup later in the year.<\/p>\n

Ghana will battle eternal rivals Nigeria in a two-legged ties in March in the final playoff to determine qualification for the global showpiece.<\/p>\n

The Chelsea winger will give all-clear to switch if Ghana secure fourth berth at the World Cup in Qatar.
