The top brass of the Ghana Football Association have not given up hope of getting Chelsea winger Callum Hudson-Odoi to play for the Black Stars of Ghana.

Hudson-Odoi was born and raised in Wandsworth, Greater London and is the younger brother of non-League striker Bradley Hudson-Odoi and the second son of former Hearts of Oak Ghanaian midfielder Bismark Odoi.

He was called up by the England under-21 team for the first time in March 2019.

A few days later, following injury to some of the senior squad players, he was called up to Gareth Southgate's senior squad for UEFA Euro 2020 qualifiers against Czech Republic and Montenegro.

Upon receiving his maiden call-up, Hudson-Odoi said he was "shocked" and described it as "a dream come true".

He made his debut on 22 March as a 70th-minute substitute in a 5–0 win over the Czech Republic at Wembley Stadium.

Upon doing so, he became the youngest-ever player to make his debut in a competitive match for England, aged 18 years and 135 days, breaking the record set by Duncan Edwards in 1955 by 40 days.

Despite playing for England he can still switch nationality and represent Ghana since he has not made more than three appearances for England and is still under the age of 21.

The winger was snubbed by Gareth Southgate for his Euro 2020 squad and will certainly be having second thoughts about representing England with how tight competition is as compared to Ghana.

A senior Executive of the Ghana FA told Sport Journalist Sadick Adams that they haven't backed down on Callum Hudson-Odoi to play for Ghana and will try and use every possible means. "His dad was Abedi Pele's closest friend & used to host Abedi anytime he was in London. We'll see how to go about to convince him"

The winger made 23 appearances for Chelsea in the Premier League scoring twice and providing three assists.
