The son of the legendary player, James Carragher, has followed in his father's footsteps and become a professional footballer. The young Carragher came through Liverpool's youth academy before joining Wigan. He has not yet played for any of England's youth teams, which gives him the opportunity to represent any country whose citizenship he holds.
Details: Now James could play for another country, as he and his father recently obtained Maltese citizenship. According to the Times of Malta, Carragher became a Maltese citizen due to his roots: his grandfather, Paul Vassallo, and his mother, Paula, are from Malta.
Bjorn Vassallo, the president of the Malta Football Association, confirmed that talks with the Carragher family about the potential involvement of James in the national team have already begun.
Quote: "We have been in talks with James and his father for several months; he is open to this, but we are still working on it. We won't shy away from recruiting such players for international matches. Everyone is doing it, so why shouldn't we follow their example?"
