Liverpool youngster Ovie Ejaria has been called up to the England Under-20s squad for the October international break.
The 18-year-old has enjoyed a swift rise to prominence under Jurgen Klopp this season, starring throughout pre-season before making his debut for the Reds against Derby County.
That 12-minute cameo marked a milestone in Ejaria’s development, which has been followed by progress on the international stage.
Ejaria has been named in Paul Williams’ 24-man squad for the England U20s’ upcoming clashes with the Netherlands (October 5), Germany (October 7) and the United States (October 10).
The young Lions will test their credentials in a packed tournament schedule, travelling to Oldham, Huddersfield and Rochdale.
Ejaria’s inclusion comes as something of a surprise, given the midfielder’s previous statement of allegiance to Nigeria, shortly after joining Liverpool from Arsenal.
