Barnsley midfielder Callum Styles is ready to play for Hungary against England tonight.

He switched allegiances after discovering his grandmother's eastern European roots.

"I'm still as English as any of the lads we'll be facing," Styles told The Sun, "but for this game and the return on June 14, I'll be giving everything for the Magyars.

"I remember watching the European Championship final last year in Manchester in a pub and nobody was more gutted than me when we lost out to Italy," Styles added. "Back then I didn't know about my Hungarian roots - now I believe I could also have qualified to play for Poland, too.

"But Hungary approached me and the head coach Marco Rossi has been brilliant, as have been my international team-mates."

He moved to Barnsley in 2018 and has spent the last two seasons honing his craft in the Championship, attracting offers from the likes of Blackburn Rovers and even Premier League-bound Nottingham Forest - offers he ultimately rejected.

Ferencvaros have also reportedly made contact with the midfielder, though Styles admits he has his heart set on a move to the summit of English football instead.

"Playing for England never happened for me but now I'm an international and, fingers crossed, the next three games might lead me to a Premier League club," he said.
