All three are yet to switch allegiance and play for their African countries but Hudson-Odoi and Fosu-Mensah have made a couple of appearances for England and Holland respectively.

Despite playing three times for England, Hudson-Odoi remains eligible to play for Ghana due to the new FIFA rules.

Should he decide to change countries, Hudson-Odoi can represent Ghana at the World Cup in Qatar later this year.

Meanwhile, in-form Jeremie Frimpong has not made any senior appearance for Holland and could still switch to play for Ghana. He was not selected for Holland's latest squad for the UEFA Nations League next week.

Frimpong is believed to have held talks with the Ghana Football Association but a decision about his international future is yet to be made.
