England’s manager, Roy Hodgson has gone on to insist that Crystal Palace’s starlet, Wilfried Zaha needs to make up his mind in regards to his future, since all the talk about him potentially linking up with the Ivory Coast national team could see
him get dropped from the Three Lions squad.
After having a very impressive season in the Championship, Zaha has been called up to represent http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Sweden-c3015 in the upcoming international friendly.
However, even if the player makes an appearance in the friendly, he will still be able to represent Ivory Coast on the international stage.
With so much confusion surrounding the player and his international future, Hodgson has insisted that the player needs to make up his mind sooner rather than later, in order to avoid any problems that may occur in the near future.
"This is a very simple one for me," said Hodgson.
"If any player prefers to play for a team other than England they're welcome to do so."If the chance to play for our national team is not strong enough motivation for players, they're not type of players we want anyway.”
"I automatically - perhaps naively - assume that, when I give a chance to a player who has played for the Under-19s and Under-21s, I expect him to cycle there if necessary and not only make himself available but almost thank us for the opportunity.”
Zaha has displayed a rather impressive amount of skill and composure on the ball, despite him being only twenty years old.
In fact, the attacker is currently being targeted with some of the top Premier League clubs, with http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Arsenal-c38429 being amongst the clubs that are looking to land the player in the January transfer window.
However, as far as his international career goes, it is still very much in doubt. Zaha went on to admit that he was tempted to try out for the Ivory Coast, especially after http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Didier-Drogba-c11044 personally called the player and urged him to represent the African
nation.
Nonetheless, it is now a wait to see just what team Zaha plays for.
