Mason Greenwood is single-mindedly focused on forcing his way back into the England squad, according to fresh reports, seemingly putting aside the opportunity to represent Jamaica at the international level.
A Star Reborn in Marseille
Since his high-profile move from Manchester United to French side Marseille last summer, the 24-year-old forward has been in scintillating form. The Bradford-born player has reignited his career in Ligue 1, producing a remarkable 31 goals and 10 assists in just 51 appearances for his new club.
His current season has been particularly explosive, with Greenwood finding the net eight times and providing three assists in his first 11 outings. This prolific scoring run has inevitably reignited the conversation about his international future, a topic that has been on hold since his solitary England cap in a 1-0 victory over Iceland back in 2020.
The International Dilemma: England vs Jamaica
Despite former England manager Steve McLaren publicly holding out hope that Greenwood will switch his international allegiance to Jamaica, the player's ambitions appear to lie firmly elsewhere. A report from the Daily Mail suggests that Greenwood is 'obsessed' with the idea of playing for the Three Lions again.
This reported fixation on an England recall indicates a clear rejection of the chance to fast-track his return to the international stage with the Jamaican national team. His outstanding performances in France are viewed by many as a direct campaign to catch the eye of the current England management.
What Comes Next for Greenwood's International Career?
The path back to the England setup for Greenwood is complex, given the significant time that has passed since his last call-up and the off-field controversies that have surrounded him. However, his undeniable talent and current form make it a conversation that is difficult for pundits and fans to ignore.
His dedication to winning an England recall appears to be the driving force behind his performances. If he maintains his current trajectory in Ligue 1, the pressure on the England selector will only intensify, setting the stage for a potentially dramatic chapter in the player's international story.
