Bayern Munich’s star Jamal Musiala has put an end to the debate over his international future after deciding to represent Germany.
Musiala was born in Stuggart, Germany to a German mother and British- Nigerian father, but he arrived in England at the age of seven, which makes him eligible to represent either of the three countries.
The 17-year-old is tipped for a big future, and he showed why he is highly-rated last night. Musiala became the youngest player to ever score a goal for a German club in the UEFA Champions League after scoring the second goal in the first leg of Bayern Munich’s 4-1 win over Lazio.
Following his brilliant display, former Bayern midfielder, Owen Hargreaves urged England manager, Gareth Southgate, to call-up the youngster.
He has represented the Three Lions youth teams 22 times, but the 17-year-old has now confirmed that he wants to represent his country of birth.
“I’ve thought about this question a lot,” he told The Athletic. “What is best for my future? Where do I have more chances to play?
“In the end, I just listened to the feeling that over a long period of time kept telling me that it was the right decision to play for Germany, the land I was born in,” he added.
Although he has featured 22 times across all competitions for the European champions this season, Musiala does not have a professional contract with the club.
However, he is expected to sign a deal when he turns 18 this Friday.
