Eddie Nketiah is on the verge of switching his international allegiance from England to Ghana, according to former Ghana Football Association (GFA) Communications Director, Ibrahim Sannie Daara. 

Sannie Daara disclosed in a post on X on Thursday, September 10, 2026, that the paperwork required for the switch is being prepared for submission to FIFA. 

“England star Eddie Nketiah is on the verge of switching allegiance to play for Ghana,” he wrote. 

“The required paperwork is being put together to be sent to FIFA for consideration.” 

Eddie Nketiah, who plays for Crystal Palace, is also recovering from a knock and is expected to return to training on Thursday, September 10, 2026. 

The potential switch would make the 27-year-old forward eligible to represent Ghana, subject to FIFA approval and the completion of the nationality-switch process. 

Eddie Nketiah was born in England to Ghanaian parents and represented England at youth level before making his senior debut for the Three Lions in 2023. 

A switch to Ghana would make him available for the Black Stars as the team continues preparations for upcoming international assignments.
