Apparently both have enquired about his international future, as per this Telegraph reporter:

[tweet]1359497088187461636 [/tweet]

Does he actually quality for England and if so who should he choose? Would be quite something if the next England player we had in our squad wasn't one of our centre backs but in fact our Spanish keeper.

I would assume he does qualify as England have enquired. Surely they'd know?

You'd think he'd choose Spain.

Being serious, he'd be mad to choose England. I sense a Spanish call up imminently, just to nail him down.

Hopefully Dunk can tell him to f**k England off as long as Southgate is in charge, he’d still choose T-Rex arms anyway.

Spain have a ridiculous depth of goalkeepers, wonder if he has a Jamaican great grandmother?

I had a mate called Roberto Juan Pedro Perez-U-Gartez.


He came from Wigan.

Spain’s last squad included Kepa as the second choice so I guess he might have a chance of being called up at some point.

He is quite black and his parents quite white, I'm guessing he was adopted. Wonder if that makes him eligible for a third country in case he doesnt want to compete with mighty Pickford or De Gea?

I'd certainly choose Sanchez over Pickford or De Gea for Albion.

Same. Not sure how Pickford is a starter for England and De Gea is decent but hardly Casillas level. I'd take him over pretty much any PL keeper, from what he has shown this far. Got all the assets to be a world class keeper.
