Newcastle midfielder Dan Barlaser open to Turkey call

Newcastle midfielder Dan Barlaser has put the Turkish FA on notice.

The 21-year-old midfielder has made three senior appearances for the Magpies' first-team and is impressing on loan at Accrington Stanley this term.

“I have Turkish youth caps at 16 and 17 and then I played for England at Under 18s," Barlaser explained to the Lancashire Telegraph.

"I have been asked to go back to Turkey for Under-20s but I didn't go. I am still keeping my options open.

“For England, you have to be a top Premier League player to get in the England team and I don't want to get ahead of myself.

“At Newcastle not many people really get called up and if Turkey came along it would be stupid not to say yes because you would be playing international football."
