Michail Antonio is reportedly set to switch his international allegiance from England to Jamaica in a bid to play in the 2022 World Cup.

The West Ham forward turned down the chance to represent Jamaica in 2016 and was later called up to England squads by Sam Allardyce and Gareth Southgate but did not make his debut.

According to The Telegraph, Antonio will accept Jamaica's latest approach with their Football Federation hoping he will be available for the CONCACAF qualifiers in September against Mexico and Costa Rica.
