Ellis Sims, like Matty Cash, was born in Great Britain, but has Polish roots. His mother is from Poland, but the player does not speak our language. Furthermore, due to his origin, he can also play for England and Jamaica national team.
Sims could play for Poland, but don’t want to?
The portal WP SportoweFakty has reported that PZPN is monitoring Ellis Simms. – We know this football player. We spoke to his father some time ago, who didn’t know how to do it. It is a very complex issue. As far as I know, the family has not taken any steps to complete the Polish documents – Maciej Chursek, head of foreign scouts at PZPN, said in an interview with the service.
Scout Przemyslaw Soczynski keeps in touch with Sims, and representatives of the Polish Football Association have already met the 20-year-old. The problem is that the player and his relatives do not show any initiative and did not inform the Polish Consulate, even though they were given the opportunity to do so. – He had a lot of time to do something and did nothing, so I wouldn’t be optimistic about that. Churek noted that he simply did not grow up in Polish and had little to do with the country except for his ancestors.
Who is Ellis Sims?
From Oldham of England, Ellis Sims took his first footballing steps at Blackburn Rovers Academy. Later he played for the junior teams of Sunderland, Manchester City and Everton. With the latter club he signed his first professional contract, and the good performance meant he was called up to the England youth team.
The striker went in the middle of the 2020/2021 season on loan to Blackpool FC, which he won promotion to The Championship. After returning to the club from Liverpool, he signed a three-year contract and began fighting for a place in the team. On December 16, he got the chance to make his first Premier League match with a draw against Chelsea. The 20-year-old played 62 minutes during which he received good feedback.
