Reggae Boyz target Mason Greenwood has formally applied to switch his allegiance from England to Jamaica, according to English Football Association executive officer Mark Bullingham.
Greenwood, who has made one appearance for England, qualifies to represent the Reggae Boyz through his parents.
The forward was called up to the Three Lions squad in 2020 but was dropped from selection in 2022 following charges of attempted rape, assault occasioning actual bodily harm, and controlling and coercive behaviour.
The charges were dropped in 2023 due to the withdrawal of key witnesses; however, he was not recalled to the England squad.
In August last year, reports indicated that the striker had begun the process of gaining Jamaican citizenship to represent the country.
