Mason Greenwood is yet to commit his future to the Jamaica national team. This means that the Reggae Boyz fans will continue to wait for his arrival.
According to reports, Greenwood and his representatives haven’t asked FIFA to “change their association.” The Jamaica Football Federation will not be able to recruit Greenwood until that request has been sent. Greenwood has a lot of time to complete his move into the Reggae Boyz squad but he clearly isn’t in a hurry.
The Jamaica Football Federation has been working on recruiting Greenwood into the Reggae Boyz squad. However, Greenwood’s delay means that the media will continue to speculate on his future.
WHAT IS THE CONTEXT?
The Bradford-born attacker was dropped from the England national team after making a solitary appearance. He was removed from the squad after he was accused of assaulting his girlfriend.
WHAT IS THE LINK WITH JAMAICA?
The 23-year-old has been been flirting with the Reggae Boyz ever since he was dropped by the England squad. At one point, he was even pictured wearing the Reggae Boyz jersey.
Steve McClaren; the current Reggae Boyz coach, has approached Greenwood with the aim of convincing him to play for Jamaica. McClaren was part of the coaching staff when Greenwood was a Manchester United player. McClaren has been adding many UK-born players into his Reggae Boyz squad. Some of the England-based players include Everton’s Mason Holgate, Newcastle United’s Isaac Scot Hayden and Chelsea academy graduate Lewis Baker.
DID YOU KNOW?
Greenwood is ranked as one of the best attackers in the world after his brilliant start Marseille FC. He has delivered 5 goals in 7 appearance in the French first division.
WHAT NEXT?
Greenwood has put his energy towards helping his club secure Champions League football. He recently made a move from Manchester United to Marseille in the last transfer window. The move was completed for a total of £27 million ($35m). He will be playing with Michail Antonio and Leon Bailey if he wears the Jamaican colors.
