The 22-year-old said that he would sit down with his family to make a decision on his national team career when he believes the time is right.
“At the moment, I’m just focusing on the club and cementing my place here after the contract situation. Obviously, there is a time coming when I would have to sit down with my family about my future and make a decision. I have not made one yet so I will sit down with my family and we will see what’s really the best for me,” he said.
Nketiah began the season on a sound note as he played a cameo role in Arsenal’s 2-0 victory over Crystal Palace in the Premier League on Friday, August 5, 2022.

Following the nationality switch of Tariq Lamptey from England to Ghana, there have been speculations that Eddie Nketiah and Calum Hudson-Odo would follow suit and play for Ghana.
The duo could join Ghana’s team for the World Cup.
