Newcastle winger Harvey Barnes has disclosed that he’s willing to change allegiance from England to Scotland.
Barnes, 27, already counts one cap with the Three Lions, which took place back in 2020 during an international friendly with Wales.

Scotland punched their ticket to the 2026 World Cup following a dramatic 4-2 win over Denmark on Tuesday at Hampden Park that saw them topping their qualifying group.
Speaking with Sky Sports, Barnes stated that he has refused to rule out representing Scotland after Steve Clarke’s side qualified for the World Cup.

“It’s not something I’ve really spoken about or put thought into recently,” Barnes told Sky Sports.
“There’s always been talk about it and a while ago there were bits and bobs about it. But recently it’s not cropped up.
“It was great to see them win and get through last night, it was a crazy game, and I’m sure everyone in Scotland enjoyed themselves.
“Is it closed off? No, of course it’s not. I’ve obviously played for England and I know the eligibility side of it is still there so it’s hard to say either way but there’s been no real chats or progression in that sense.”
