Eddie Nketiah, born in Lewisham to Ghanaian parents, began his youth career at Chelsea before joining Arsenal, where he scored 38 goals in 168 appearances before a £30m transfer to Crystal Palace in August 2024. Although approached by the Ghana Football Association regarding international representation, Nketiah has not had recent contact and is focused on his club performance. Ghana’s national team coach, Otto Addo, emphasized a case-by-case evaluation for potential call-ups of players who previously declined invitations, leading to mixed feelings among supporters. The sentiment among fans is that those who rejected earlier calls should not be selected for the World Cup squad, reflecting a broader discussion about commitment and national pride.
