Zimbabwe are trying to convince Brendan Galloway to swap international allegiance.
The Everton defender, currently on loan at West Bromwich Albion, has been capped at under-21 level by England.
But born in Harare, Galloway would still be eligible to play at senior level for Zimbabwe and their coach, Kalisto Pasuwa, is hoping to change the defender’s mind.
The 20-year-old has been called up by England u-21s for their latest round of Euro 2017 qualifiers but with the Africa Cup of Nations on the horizon, Pasuwa is refusing to give up – even though in initial feedback hasn’t been encouraging.
“As the technical team, we are always looking for good players and as for the England-based guys like Darikwa and Galloway, they have not been responding positively to come and play for the national team,” he said.
England’s u-21s face Kazakhstan on October 6 and Bosnia-Herzegovina on October 11.
