Che Adams denies selecting Scotland for better chance at Euros | OneFootball

Despite intense speculation, Southampton forward Che Adams has denied joining Scotland in order to have a better chance at featuring in the European Football Championship.

Though Adams was an England youth international and previously rejected Scotland in 2017, the 24-year-old acknowledged that he’s simply ready to begin his international footballing career.

“I think it’s the right time,” Adams told the Scottish Football Association media team. “I know a lot of people are going to be saying it’s because of the Euros but I don’t think that’s the case.

“I think it’s come at the right time. Obviously when I was younger I didn’t really know my body and how I would adapt but I think I’m the right age.

“I have spoken to Stu (Armstrong) a couple of times and I spoke to the gaffer (Clarke) and that made my mind up.

“He convinced me a lot. I have seen videos online and it’s just something I want to be part of. I want to take my career to the next level.

“I saw the David Marshall videos online and as soon as I saw that I wanted to be part of it. The lads looked really good and they have really welcomed me in.

“I can’t wait to get going to put the trust back into the manager.”

After enduring a very rough start to his Premier League career, Adams has enjoyed a fine sophomore season, scoring seven goals and providing four assists.
