English-born Ghanaians Jarell Quansah and Kobbie Mainoo named in England’s Euro squad

Published on: 21 May 2024

England head coach, Gareth Southgate, has named two English-born Ghanaian players of Ghanaian descent, Kobbie Mainoo and Jarell Quansah in his provisional squad for the 2024 European Championships.

Quansah has had an impressive breakthrough season with Liverpool. The 21-year-old defender has featured in 33 games for the Res across all competitions.

Meanwhile, Mainoo has already been capped by the Three Lions during the match international break. He has played 32 games across all competitions this season and has scored four goals.

Mainoo and Quansah potentially playing in the Euros could mean the end of the possibility of them playing for Ghana’s Black Stars.
