  THE BIGGER PICTURE

  Greenwood being granted citizenship by Jamaica means he is in line to be selected for his country for the first time in five years. Per , the Marseille man has also been issued a new passport to fully complete his switch.

  Greenwood's recruitment is part of a drive from Jamaica and head coach Steve McClaren to bring in UK-born players with heritage linked to the Caribbean country. Since charges of attempted rape against him were dropped, the 23-year-old has been firing under Roberto De Zerbi at Marseille and has also been linked with a switch to Cristiano Ronaldo's Al-Nassr.
