Gregg Berhalter confirmed that the United States men's national team are considering calling up Burnley's Luca Koleosho.

Koleosho was born in the United States but was raised by a Nigerian father and an Italian-Canadian mother which makes him eligible to represent Nigeria, Italy and Canada, as well as the USMNT.

His recent performances with Burnley have grabbed the attention of Berhalter and he confirmed that he is in conversation with the player for a potential USMNT debut in the near future.

We are in communication. I know he's been with Italy's U-19s, he's also eligible for Canada and Nigeria. What I'd say is he's a great guy. He's doing a great job at Burnley.

I'm really happy that he came into the team and was able to get a starting spot right away. It shows what type of of worker he is and how quickly he can adapt. In terms of a decision and in terms of a final outcome, that's TBD, but we'll keep you posted on that.
