Dewsbury‑Hall Denies He Will Switch to Ireland After England World Cup Omission

Overview

• Kiernan Dewsbury‑Hall posted on X on Wednesday saying the report was 'just not true' and that he is English with a desire to play for England.
• The Everton midfielder remains uncapped by either country and is eligible for the Republic of Ireland through his family heritage.
• Thomas Tuchel left Dewsbury‑Hall out of England’s expanded camp in March and omitted him from the final 26‑man World Cup squad this month, which fuelled speculation about his international future.
• Dewsbury‑Hall moved to Everton from Chelsea last summer for a reported fee of around £30 million and delivered a strong season with eight Premier League goals and multiple assists.
• His public refutation quells the immediate rumour but leaves him reliant on future England selection for an international debut and keeps open the possibility that Ireland could renew contact if he remains uncapped.
