Southampton star Nathan Redmond is yet to make up his mind regarding his international future, after recently receiving confirmed interest for his services from the Jamaica Football Federation (JFF).
Earlier reports had suggested that the 27-year former England U-21 representative was among a number of players that had decided to switch their allegiances to Jamaica after being approached by the JFF.
The player had, however, later rejected those claims, insisted he was yet to be contacted by the JFF regarding the option of joining the country’s national program.
"I’ve not been contacted. I’ve heard some stories and seen a lot of stuff in the media, but no one from the international set-up in Jamaica has contacted me,” Redmond had told UK publication The Daily Echo.
"So, I’m seeing it exactly the same way as everybody else is."
A recent update, however, indicates that the player was contacted three weeks ago, and he is now carefully considering the decision. Redmond had also previously indicated that the decision would include his family.
"I’ve not really spoken to my family about some of that stuff as of yet,” he had said.
"Obviously, it’s been difficult to see people during lockdown. So, I’ve not really spoken to the family about that,” he added.
"That’s a decision I guess for all of them to make with me, because I’m quite close with my family and whatever I do football-wise impacts them and our lives."
A number of players, including West Ham star forward Michail Antonio and Swansea’s Jamal Lowe, have already accepted the invitation to join the Jamaica national team, who will begin competing in the final round of the FIFA World Cup qualifiers later this year.
