Oh no! They're trying to turn his head! It's only three and a half more years before he qualifies for England based on residency! Cap him, MON, cap him now!
For some reason that Premier League site is quite sloppy when it comes to flags for Irish players, and not just English-born or raised Irish underage internationals, but also lads who spent their entire lives in Ireland before moving to an English club a few months ago. Well if our Magnificent Seven of young strikers (Connolly, Afolabi, Obafemi, Idah, Roache, McAuley and Cassidy - more if you add in Hale, Parrott and Okoflex) keep progressing at their current rate, we might not be able to accommodate them all so a couple might have to switch their allegiance just to have an international career!
