Callum Hudson-Odoi aims for an England national team call-up due to his strong performances at Nottingham Forest this season. He has been on Ghana’s radar since 2022 but remains focused on his aspirations with England. Hudson-Odoi believes that consistency in his game will lead to opportunities, having last played for England in 2019 and maintaining eligibility to switch nationalities.
Callum Hudson-Odoi, the English winger of Ghanaian descent, is keenly anticipating a call-up to the England national team due to his remarkable performances in the Premier League this season. The Nottingham Forest player has been on Ghana’s radar since 2022, especially as his England career faced obstacles with injuries and fluctuations in form.
Hudson-Odoi confidently asserts that a return to the Three Lions is achievable if he sustains his current level of play. He expressed, “I’m taking it game by game. No matter what happens—whether I get picked or not—I just have to keep performing and stay consistent. That will take care of itself,” during an interview with Rio Ferdinand on TNT Sports.
He last represented England in 2019, at the young age of 19. Having played fewer than three competitive matches for England before turning 21, he became eligible to switch nationalities. He acquired a Ghanaian passport and was reportedly considering pledging allegiance to Ghana, although this did not materialize.
This season, Hudson-Odoi has distinguished himself as a key player for Nottingham Forest, contributing significantly to their pursuit of European football. He has netted five goals and assisted two, including critical goals against formidable opponents such as Liverpool and Manchester City.
In summary, Callum Hudson-Odoi’s prospects of being called up to the England national team appear promising given his current form. Despite past considerations to represent Ghana, his focus remains on continuing his strong performances in the Premier League. Should he maintain consistency, he could very well rejoin the ranks of the Three Lions.
