Callum Hudson-Odoi wants youngster Jamal Musiala to play for England instead of Germany.
The Bayern Munich youngster was a Chelsea youth product, where he played with Hudson-Odoi.
They are also playing together for the England under-21s at the moment.
Musiala left for Bayern in 2019 and is now a first team player, despite only being 17.
He was born in Germany, but grew up in England, which means he could play for either nation.
"We talked about it. I said he should be staying with England," Hudson-Odoi told reporters after the under-21s' 5-0 win over Albania.
"He knows a lot of the boys already and has been really welcomed into the team.
"I said to him, 'I can't choose for you but it would be nice if you stayed with England.'
"Hopefully he gets to the seniors as quickly as possible."
