Chelsea winger to convince Arsenal star to switch allegiance after being snubbed
Christian Pulisic, a Chelsea and the USA player, hopes to take advantage of Folarin Balogun's exclusion from the England team by persuading the Arsenal youngster to switch national teams.
James was a substitute in England's 2-1 win over Italy, coming on to help England hold on to their lead at a time when Italy had them on the ropes following a red card to Luke Shaw.
James came on in the 85th minute, replacing his fellow Londoner Bukayo Saka, as Gareth Southgate sought more defensive solidity in the face of Italian incursion.
He made three clearances and won a crucial aerial duel in his time on the pitch, helping England hold on to all three points; however, he has felt some discomfort and has now returned to Chelsea for assessment.
