Good, but some of them weren't born in Africa and some of them aren't fully from African ancestry.

Wow!
Marcus Rashford from Tanzania?
That's interesting!

Dannny Welbeck, Fosu-Mensah, Memphis Depay are all Ghanaians.
Mbappe also has an African root.

OP include Tammy Abraham & Dominic Solanke, they've all have their debut in England colours.

Whether they are born in Africa or not, as long as their fathers is African, they're all Africans.

It is now left for them to choose which country they wanna Rep.
Imagine George Weah, Drogba, Aubumeyang etc decides to rep. Foreign countries
