Ghana approach Palace striker Nketiah over international switch – Report

Crystal Palace forward Eddie Nketiah is preparing to change his international allegiance from England to Ghana, with the required paperwork being compiled for FIFA's review. The 27-year-old has made considerable strides in his decision to commit to the Black Stars and has been actively approached by Ghanaian football officials for several years.

Eligible to represent Ghana through family ties, Nketiah has been a regular starter for Crystal Palace since returning from injury. He scored a goal in their 3-2 comeback win against Fulham on September 5 and has yet to play for England once, as his sole senior appearance was in a non-competitive match. FIFA must approve the move before Nketiah can don the Ghanaian colors.

If the request is granted, the striker will cap off a long-standing uncertainty surrounding his international future.
