In early January, news spread about the involvement of Sunderland player Dennis Chirkin in the Azerbaijani national team.

Offsideplus.az reports, citing GettoSport, that the 22-year-old left-wing defender was likely to be nationalized. Dennis, whose father is Turkish and mother is English, was born in Ireland and also has an Azerbaijani passport. It was reported that AFFA had taken action for the Tottenham player.

According to the information received by our editorial office, the information is incorrect. AFFA has refused to bring in a foreign player.

It should be noted that Dennis has scored 2 goals and 2 assists in 22 games in the Championship this season.
