Eberechi Eze, an English football player of Nigerian descent, has been called up to the England team for the June Euro 2024 qualifying matches against North Macedonia and Malta.
Eberechi Eze, who has been in outstanding form with Crystal Palace during the 2022–2023 season, has represented England at the Under-20 and Under-21 levels, but has not yet represented the senior side of the nation.
The attacking midfielder, 24, who was born to Nigerian parents in England, is still qualified to represent the Super Eagles of Nigeria until he makes his first competitive appearance for the Three Lions.

Therefore, Eze won’t be able to represent Nigeria once more if he plays in June against Malta or North Macedonia.
“We’ve liked him (Eze) for a long time, he was unfortunate before the Euros,” said Southgate.
“We were going to call him in for a prep camp and he got an unfortunate injury.
“He has finished the season really strongly. He can play in a couple of positions across the attacking line. Everyone I speak to talks brilliantly about him as a person.”
Below is England’s full squad for the June international break:
Goalkeepers: Sam Johnstone (Crystal Palace), Jordan Pickford (Everton), Aaron Ramsdale (Arsenal)
