While these players are still being battled over, England has lost the opportunity to gain the services of Arsenal striker Folarin Balogun on the international stage.
The players on this list are not all qualified to compete for England and at least one other nation on the international stage. However, it is a compilation of the key actors and will be regularly updated if and when additional important players emerge. Further inclusion suggestions are welcome.
Aarons, Max (Norwich)
Aarons has turned down offers from Jamaica despite the fact that he has 27 England youth caps, 70 Premier League matches, and previous interest from Bayern Munich and Barcelona.
Adarabioyo Tosin (Fulham)
The Fulham center-half stated in July 2020, "I believe I should be going to the next World Cup either with England or Nigeria; that's my objective." A graduate of the Manchester City academy, whose path to the Three Lions was obvious to the seniors, has left the ship.
Akua Chuba (Middlesbrough)
24 Championship goals for a raging Middlesbrough might attract interest from England and Nigeria once again, as unlikely as it may sound for a 27-year-old whose most recent of four career Premier League outings came in February 2015
.once again.
Joel Anderson (Newcastle)
Steve Clarke, the manager of Scotland, says, "I've had a talk with Elliot, and he wants to bide his time and see what happens." Clarke is fully aware of what that means in terms of the Newcastle midfielder's desire.
Balogun, Folarin (Reims, on loan from Arsenal)
With the most recent news that FIFA had approved the United States' request for Balogun to convert to their eligibility, it appears that England has lost this war. The ball truly seems to have been dropped by the Three Lions, whose U21 manager Lee Carsley had not been given "any inkling that he's looking," although nothing is set in stone for a player who can also represent Nigeria until he makes the necessary appearances.
when Balogun backed out of the selection process in March.
Barnes, Harvey (Leicester)
A single England friendly appearance in October 2020 won't stop Scotland from holding out a carrot to the Leicester winger that Southgate no longer provides.
A. Trevoh Chalobah (Chelsea)
It continues to be a mystery that a center-half with significant Champions League and Premier League experience, who is 23 years old and has captained England youth teams from the U16s through the U20s as well as the U21s, hasn't even appeared on the senior team's radar. Sierre Leone is still patiently passing the time.
Chukwuemeka Carney (Chelsea)
Chukwuemeka, a midfielder for Chelsea who was born in Austria to Nigerian parents, has only ever played for England at the junior level. Nonetheless, the 19-year-old is still theoretically available.
Jeremy Dasilva (Brentford)
"I am Angolan; my parents are Angolan; and both my parents and I are proud of our heritage. I haven't actually spoken to them much, so I don't really know how things stand, but if an opportunity arises, we can see what happens. Even the memory of helping England win the 2017 European U19 Championship cannot bind Dasilva.
Edwards, Marcus (Sporting)
Upon leaving Spurs, a comprehensive and impressive career rebuild
The eligibility controversy involving Edwards has gained new life in 2019. Cyprus continues to be
After being selected for a few preliminary tournament squads, Eze should have given up on the idea of representing Nigeria internationally long ago. Yet bad form and some bad luck have coincided, so everything is in flux.
Morgan White Gibbs (Nottingham Forest)
Gibbs-White is one of many players Jamaica has recently tried to lure away, but he has resisted their advances and, in Southgate's opinion, is "progressing well" with Nottingham Forest and as the U21s captain.
Gordon, Anthony (Newcastle)
Scotland
and the Republic of Ireland are rumored to be interested in the 27-cap England youth international Gordon, who may prefer to concentrate on Newcastle following a rocky start as a £45 million striker.
Gray, Demarai (Everton)
Nevertheless, little progress has been made on Gray's senior call-up from September 2018, when he saw Jack Butland, James Tarkowski, Danny Rose, Ruben Loftus-Cheek, Danny Welbeck, and Fabian Delph defeat Switzerland 1-0 as unused substitutes. Gray is another player Jamaica has pursued.
Ralph Henry (Brentford)
It is irresponsible to lose a top-notch left-back to Jamaica.
Konsa, Ezri (Aston Villa)
Exactly the type of player used as evidence that Southgate does not favor DR Congo, Angola, and Portugal will not have missed Konsa's success under Unai Emery.
Livramento Tino (Southampton)
The 20-year-old wounded player, whose Portuguese father and Scottish mother slightly muddy the otherwise pure waters of 30 England youth caps from the U15s up, is out of sight and out of mind.
Madueke Noni (Chelsea)
In terms of whether England follow up on his junior caps or Nigeria jump in, the scenario for Madueke should become a lot clearer by the end of his seven and a half-year Chelsea deal.
Donald McNeil (Everton)
Sean Dyche, the manager of Burnley, said of McNeil in December 2019: "When I see some of the other young players who are getting called up and are in and around the group, then he can't be far away in my opinion, but I'm forced to say that; I see him every day." Jamaica might soon get moving after the pair were reunited with more modest success at Everton.
Robert Nelson (Arsenal)
Nelson has had a significant impact on Arsenal's run for the Premier League title, but it will take more than 102 Premier League minutes to persuade England to engage Zimbabwe in a conflict over the former Young Lion.
Abel Nketiah (Arsenal)
The Ghana FA staff must have accepted that Nketiah would be unreachable and would make the team impossible to compete for.
"Like many athletes who hold dual citizenship, it is their right. Nothing is guaranteed to them by us. There is still hope for England, Algeria, and Nigeria as long as Olise is ignored by the French senior team. "We let them know that we are interested, and he has chosen other pathways," said rejected U21 manager Carsley.
Sessegnon, Ryan (Spurs)
Said to be eligible to play for the Cheetahs, Sessegnon is the distant cousin of 84-cap Benin international Stephane. Sessegnon would like to build on an England youth career in which he was consistently selected above his age group by finding enough consistency with Spurs.
Spence, Djed (Rennes, on loan from Spurs)
Wes Morgan once remarked, "He's like a Rolls-Royce."
Wan-Bissaka no longer expectantly waits by the phone for the call from Southgate. He is definitely out of the running for right-back positions, and DR Congo will probably give it a shot if they haven't already.
Willock, Joe (Newcastle)
Willock is a solid squad option for England and should be considered while redesigning their midfield. Newcastle's ascent has been greatly aided by the 23-year-old, and Montserrat can only be stopped for so long.
