Nmecha confirms he is turning his back on England to play for Germany

Manchester City centre-forward Lukas Nmecha has turned his back on England to play international football for Germany.

The 20-year-old was born in Hamburg but raised in England after his parents relocated while he was still very young.

Nmecha has represented England at every youth level between Under-16 and Under-21, but he made his debut for the Germany Under-21 side this week.

The City starlet came on as a second-half substitute as Germany secured a 2-1 win over the Three Lions at Bournemouth's Vitality Stadium on Tuesday.

Speaking after the match, Nmecha revealed he is switching allegiances permanently, after giving the issue a great deal of thought.
