Hudson-Odoi nationality switch process will be complete just before World Cup –

The nationality switch of England-born winger Callum Hudson-Odoi will be complete just before the 2022 FIFA World Cup in Qatar.

November is the earliest time the 21-year-old will be able to play, which coincides with the beginning of the World Cup, which is set to take place in Qatar in the Middle East.

The Chelsea forward has been persuaded to join the Ghana team, with Nketiah also following him in the process.

The 21-year-old has not featured for the senior England team since the end of 2019, when he played 59 minutes in a Euro 2020 qualifier against Kosovo.

However he has made a number of appearances for the country’s youth squads and was part of the U17 side that won the World Cup in 2017.

It has widely been reported that the winger was considering a switch from England to Ghana as they prepare for their participation in the World Cup later this year.

Ghana were able to finish top of their group during qualifying and despite being eligible to feature for them, Hudson-Odoi was unable to play due to him not yet making his move.
