Arsenal striker Eddie Nketiah ponders accepting Ghana call

Arsenal striker Eddie Nketiah is considering committing to Ghana after the Black Stars qualified for the upcoming World Cup in Qatar.

Nketiah, 22, is keen to be part of the tournament in the Gulf State in seven months time, according to Ghanaian media.

The Ghana Football Association have reportedly contacted his family in recent weeks over a possibility to switch allegiance, as they look to have him on board for the World Cup.

Nketiah was born to Ghanaian parents in the United Kingdom, but he has represented England at all youth levels. He has 17 appearances for England's Under U21 side, and netted 16 goals in the process.

Whilst not yet featuring for the Three Lions' senior side, his chances of reaching the tournament later this year are perhaps brighter than ever.

Ghana are apparently hopeful of convincing him to represent them, after the West African giants secured their fourth appearance at the global competition, says the Daily Mail.
