Brighton striker Evan Ferguson has six senior Republic of Ireland caps but is still eligible to play for Gareth Southgate's England.
Following his phenomenal performance against Newcastle on Saturday, 2 September, fans have taken to social media to discuss whether the striker should become an England star or whether he should stick to being one of the Boys in Green.
One fan wrote: “That Evan Ferguson will make a great player for England. Could become as good as Rice & Grealish for the national team.”“I swear every England fan is checking if Evan Ferguson has English grandparents right now,” commented another. A third wrote: “People who think Evan Ferguson will switch to England is actually laughable. Can you not hear his accent. He is Ireland born and bred. No chance he switches.”
Elsewhere, another football fan wrote: “I’m gutted Evan Ferguson is Irish. Absolutely gutted. Easily would of been Kane’s replacement for years in the England squad.” Another countered and commented: “Hopefully Evan Ferguson doesn't switch up to England like every other talented sportsman Ireland has produced.”
