Djed Spence: Harambee Stars prospect continues to be overlooked by England

Tottenham Hotspur defender Djed Spence continues to be overlooked by the England national team, as he was left out of Thomas Tuchel's latest squad for the upcoming FIFA World Cup qualifiers against Albania and Latvia.

Spence, a dual national eligible to represent England, Jamaica, and Kenya, has been at the center of a tug-of-war between the three nations.

However, Spence has made it clear that his allegiance lies with England, regardless of whether he receives a call-up.

His continued exclusion, despite an impressive run of form at Spurs, raises questions about his international future.

The defender had been tipped for a call-up by former England internationals and pundits alike, who praised his recent performances.

Yet, Tuchel instead chose Arsenal's rising star Myles Lewis-Skelly, who has also been in sensational form.

The 18-year-old Arsenal midfielder has played a crucial role in his club’s strong Premier League campaign, where they currently sit second and have progressed to the UEFA Champions League quarter-finals.

Spence’s omission from the England squad may, however, offer a glimmer of hope to Kenya’s Harambee Stars.

Newly appointed head coach Benni McCarthy has expressed his ambition to court dual nationals eligible for the Kenyan national team.

With World Cup qualifiers against Gambia and Gabon on the horizon, Kenya remains hopeful that players like Spence might reconsider their international choices.

For now, Spence remains committed to England, but with continued snubs from the Three Lions, the door for a potential switch to Harambee Stars or Jamaica remains slightly ajar.
