Jamaica head coach admits he 'would love' to have Mason Greenwood in his squad and confirms talks over trying to convince the on-loan Man United forward to switch allegiance from England

Jamaica head coach Heimir Hallgrimsson has admitted he 'would love' to have Mason Greenwood in his squad, with their national federation having discussed the prospect of attempting to convince the forward.

Greenwood is eligible for selection due to his Jamaican heritage and has only played one senior game for England.

The 22-year-old's sole appearance came in a UEFA Nations League match in September 2020 against Finland, where he came on as a late substitute.

Greenwood was later sent home for breaching Covid-19 regulations.

He would be permitted to switch nations under FIFA rules, which allow players to change allegiance if they have played no more than three competitive matches for a nation prior to turning 21.
