Summary at a Glance

Premier League and ex-England Under-21s star, 29, set to switch international allegiance thanks to bizarre rule change FORMER England youth international Matt Grimes is reportedly in line to switch international allegiance.

The proposed change would allow players over the age of 18, who have been registered with a club based in one of the home nations for at least five years, to represent that country.

But one of the main potential problems for FAW would be the possibility of Wales-qualified youngsters moving to clubs in England, Scotland or Northern Ireland and subsequently wishing to play there.

However, the Football Association of Wales (FAW) is now lobbying England, Scotland and Northern Ireland to agree to a rule change.

Under the FAW's proposed rule change, it would make him eligible to play for Wales.
