Callum Hudson-Odoi, the Ghanaian-born winger for Nottingham Forest, is hopeful for a call-up to the England national team after an impressive season. Despite being eligible to represent Ghana, he aims to maintain strong performances in the Premier League to secure his place with the Three Lions.
Callum Hudson-Odoi, a Ghanaian-born winger for Nottingham Forest, is expressing hope for a call-up to the England national team due to his strong performance in the Premier League this season. Hudson-Odoi has been on Ghana’s radar since 2022, when his career with England faltered due to injuries and inconsistency. Nonetheless, he remains focused and optimistic about rejoining the Three Lions.
In an interview with Rio Ferdinand on TNT Sports, Hudson-Odoi emphasized the importance of consistency in his game: “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.” He added, “Just taking it one game at a time, and you never know what might happen.”
The 24-year-old last represented England in 2019 at the age of 19. Since he played fewer than three competitive matches before turning 21, he was eligible to switch his nationality. Hudson-Odoi obtained a Ghanaian passport and had intentions to switch allegiance, although those plans did not materialize.
This season, Hudson-Odoi has emerged as a key player for Nottingham Forest, contributing significantly to their aspirations for European football. He has netted five goals and delivered two assists, including pivotal goals against prominent teams such as Liverpool and Manchester City.
Callum Hudson-Odoi’s current form has rekindled his hopes for a return to the England national team, although he remains eligible to represent Ghana. His achievements on the field this season, particularly his contributions to Nottingham Forest, suggest a promising career ahead. As he continues to focus on consistency and performance, the coming months may clarify his international future.
