Ring Ring! Eddie Nketiah gets first full England call-up

Eddie Nketiah of Arsenal, and hopefully, soon-to-be England.


Three Lions boss Gareth Southgate has included four Arsenal players in his squad for September's games against Ukraine and Scotland.

Among the quintet is Eddie Nketiah, who has received his first call-up to the England national team for the upcoming international break.

With two goals in our opening three games, and having won the penalty that Martin Odegaard scored against Crystal Palace, Eddie is in fine form at the start of the 2023-24 campaign.

He will now get the chance to make the step up to the full international scene, having already become the under-21s' all-time record scorer with 16 goals coming in 17 caps at that level.

The other three Gunners include keeper Aaron Ramsdale, Declan Rice and Bukayo Saka. 

England play Ukraine in a Euro 2024 qualifier on September 9 in Poland, and Scotland in a friendly on September 12.

The game against Scotland at Hampden Park is to mark the 150th anniversary of that fixture.
