Danny Rose plans to wait until Roy Hodgson names his England squad next week before giving proper attention to an offer from Jamaica.
Rose qualifies for Jamaica through his grandfather and the Caribbean side are interested in recruiting the Tottenham left-back for the Copa America in Chile in June.
Standard Sport revealed on Tuesday that Rose was top of a list of English-based players the Jamaican FA are keen to speak to. Crystal Palace winger Jason Puncheon and Liverpool defender Andre Wisdom, who is on loan at West Brom, have also been identified. But Rose, 24, has a realistic chance of being selected for England for the Euro 2016 qualifier against Lithuania and the friendly in Italy on March 27 and 31 respectively — despite saying last month he believed he was down the pecking order.
Hodgson’s first-choice left-back, Everton’s Leighton Baines, is out with a thigh injury, while Kieran Gibbs and Luke Shaw have had mixed seasons with Arsenal and Manchester United respectively. Rose, meanwhile, has established himself as Spurs’s No1 choice in the Premier League.
He was called up by Hodgson at the start of the season for the matches against Switzerland and Norway but was not used in either fixture. If Rose is overlooked again, it is understood he would be willing to examine the proposal from Jamaica in more detail.
