The international break is upon us, and there are some massive games for the British born/raised players representing the likes of Jamaica, Nigeria and Iraq as they seek a chance at World Cup glory. We discuss a few new call-ups, including Brentford left back Rico Henry's addition to the Reggae Boyz squad as they hope to lift spirits after Hurricane Melissa, and respond to Alex Iwobi's revealing hotel Snaps as the Nigerian FA face a player revolt in Morocco.

We also look back on the week in club football for our contingent abroad - Marcus Rashford now leads in assists across Europe's top 5 leagues, there's another controversy for Ademola Lookman at Atalanta, and an incredible solo effort from Londoner Dan Agyei stuns the Turkish champions. Plus, a moment to remember for former Accrington defender Ross Sykes in the Champions League...

International Clearance - the podcast about British born/raised players and coaches plying their trade abroad.

This week: we discuss Aaron Ramsey's mutual exit from Pumas in the wake of his dog going missing, Brad Young's equally brief adventure in the UAE also being cut short, while young striker Max Dean loses his head in a heavy Gent defeat.

In more positive news, there's another goal for Cremonese veteran Jamie Vardy, Jude Bellingham dominates another La Liga fixture and former Leeds defender Charlie Cresswell talks about loving life in Ligue 1 after yet another goal for Toulouse.

International Clearance - the podcast about British born/raised players and coaches abroad!

There were two Englishmen in El Clasico on the weekend and both were involved in their side's attacking highlights, with Jude Bellingham reminding certain grumpy Qatar-based pundits that he's still one of the best we've got.

There were also three goalscoring Brits in Serie A in the last few days, including a first Cremonese goal for backflipping 38-year-old Jamie Vardy, while we keep an eye on those of our contingent that have got the MLS Cup play-offs underway.

Elsewhere, we discuss Marc Guehi's link to Bayern Munich, Thailand appointing Anthony Hudson as their interim coach, and Aaron Ramsey's $20,000 reward in Mexico...

International Clearance - the podcast about British players and coaches abroad for club or country!

This week: Graham Potter is announced as Sweden manager (but on the shortest of contracts), Jonjo Shelvey makes more headlines from the Dubai lower leagues, and Wilfried Zaha has a rollercoaster week as the MLS regular season comes to a close.

Meanwhile in Europe, Harry Kane puts in what could be the performance of his career in Der Klassiker, Jamie Vardy makes his first start for Cremonese, and Liam Rosenior's Strasbourg youngsters give PSG an almighty scare.

The international break saw a number of British born or raised players in action on what we call Diaspora Duty.

Ghana sealed World Cup qualification, and reportedly a couple of former England internationals want in on the act, albeit to a mixed response. DR Congo and Nigeria's 2026 fates will be decided next month at the earliest, in a special CAF play-off round to hopefully make an inter-continental backdoor to the tournament. They may well meet the likes of Iraq and Jamaica there, who aren't quite where they need to be just yet in their respective regions.

Elsewhere, D'Margio Wright-Phillips scores on his Grenada debut, Jonjo Shelvey has a new teammate at Arabian Falcons, and Graham Potter twerks for the Sweden job!

We discuss it all over this half-hour episode. Continue the convo @intlclearance on X, Instagram and TikTok.

Harry Kane is past the century mark for Bayern and seeming to have the time of his life. Could this season be his best ever?

We also salute some cup winners in North America, as Sam Surridge and the returning Ryan Gauld score for their respective sides. We ponder what's next for Gauld in Vancouver now that Thomas Muller has arrived and thrived. Plus, a Diaspora Duty shout out to Ronaldo Vieira as he looks set to debut for Guinea-Bissau in this international break...

This week:

It's not his job but Lloyd Kelly has found himself among the goals for Juventus in the last few days, Ivan Toney makes headlines with another bold (brazen?) claim about the Saudi Pro League, and Steve Cooper wins a derby on his first game in charge of Brondby. Plus, a guard of honour in San Sebastian for John Toshack, and a poznan in the stands for Dean Smith as his Charlotte side topple Messi's Miami.

Plenty more players heading abroad in late transfer window deals to catch you up on, including some bizarre goings on at Strasbourg and a possible growing trend of Brits heading to Polish football. Speaking of Poland, Matty Cash has a dream international break on disapora duty...

We're back for a new season, a little later than scheduled - blame Joe's prolonged FA Cup celebrations - but with plenty of transfer news to bring you!

Though the football season is pretty much back and underway for most of Eurpe, we'll first catch you up to some of our favourite moves abroad from British-born/raised players while we have been away, as well as those (quitters) that have returned to the UK. It's been busy at International Clearance Airport but you'll want to know it all...

It wasn't too strong a showing from our Diaspora Duty continent playing for nations outside the UK in this international break, but we salute a few including Matty Cash, Hamza Choudhury and Sutton United's Dillon De Silva.

Keeping us busy in our season finale, however, are the transfers! Jobe Bellingham has completed a move to Dortmund, Angel Gomes turns down Premier League interest to stay in Ligue 1, and Aaron Ramsey decides Mexico is a much more fun prospect than Cardiff in League One. We don't blame you fella!

As we head into the final international break of the season, there are a ton more new British-born/raised players taking the opportunity to play for national teams around the world.

Jordan Bowery brings his wealth of Football League experience to St Kitts & Nevis, Hibs ace Jordan Obita accepts the call from Uganda at age 31, and Fleetwood Town's Phoenix Patterson looks set to make his bow for the Philippines. Plus, the likes of Rwanda, Zimbabwe and Malta have promoted teenage academy talents in the English pyramid to their senior international setups despite a lack of club experience.

Plus, Trent gets his wish and heads to real Madrid in time for the Club World Cup...

Scott McTominay is still having the week of his life as you read this, following his acrobatic goal to seal Napoli's Serie A title. Fellow Scottish international Max Johnston lifts another league win in Austria, while Christian Burgess captains Union SG to their first Belgian title in 90 years.

Jesse Lingard gets a new trim in Korea, Jobe Bellingham heads from Wembley to Frankfurt, and the Unity Cup gets underway in Brentford with Jamaican and Trini diaspora aplenty. Stay up to date @intlclearance

Congrats to Lewis Ferguson on winning the battle of the Brits in the Coppa Italia final, with the Bologna skipper lifted his side's first trophy in half a century.

After a disappointing end to the season for losing finallists Milan, the futures of Tammy Abraham, Fikayo Tomori, Kyle Walker and Ruben Loftus-Cheek seem uncertain.

We've been celebrating plenty of titles and promotions recently from our overseas contingent, but it's more about the lows this week as pod favourites Strasbourg, led by Liam Rosenior, miss out on Europe in heartbreaking fashion, and Jordan Henderson's Ajax throw the Eredivisie title away in their last five games. While there are homecomings expected for the likes of Lille's Angel Gomes and Scotland's relegated Las Palmas duo, there are reports linking Maxi Oyedele and Max Johnston with moves elsewhere in Europe. Plus, John Carver is up for Manager of the Year...

The celebration of British coaches and players abroad continues with ease as more promotions are secured, including Jason Puncheon's first as a manager. Meanwhile, Tony Pulis is invited by Mido for a potential Sporting Director job in Egypt.

In Serie A, Scott McTominay has been immortalised in Naples - imagine what happens if they actually win the Scudetto! - while Empoli's British duo keep their survival hopes alive. Bayern's UK contingent are doused in blonde beers for their Bundesliga party, while Real Madrid make a cheeky offer to Liverpool to get Trent before the Club World Cup begins. Should they accept it?

Plus, we preview the Coppa Italia Final featuring a ton of Brits, while in Diaspora Duty, Aaron Wan-Bissaka finally declares for DR Congo!

As many league seasons around the world reach their climax, trophy winners are being decided and there are plenty of Brits abroad that have medals around their necks in the last week or so. Harry Kane, Eric Dier and Michael Olise each win their first league titles after a chaotic Bayern weekend, former Man Utd midfielder Maxi Oyedele wins his first senior trophy, and Ivan Toney's Ah-Ahli win the Asian answer to the Champions League.

Elsewhere, we discuss the British-born/raised interest in Ligue 1's Champions League race, with former Arsenal duo Mika Biereth and Folarin Balogun starting up top together for the first time in Monaco's recent win, while Marseille eye up Lille's contract rebel Angel Gomes for a surprise summer move.

After a great week of Champions League in Europe, we turn to the equivalent competition in Asia where Ivan Toney and his Al-Ahli side are one game away from continental glory. In Spain, Jude Bellingham sees red in a cup final defeat for Real Madrid, while in Germany it looks like Bayern will confirm Harry Kane's first title this weekend (although he won't be playing!).

Kane's teammate Eric Dier has been rewarded with more than a league medal for his run-in this season, while in Italy, Scott McTominay's brace takes Napoli three points clear and breaks a Scottish Serie A record. Elsewhere, Charlotte FC's English contingent collectively crash out after a home defeat, while there are wicked whispers of an English striking legend seeking work in Cyprus...

As the majority of the British contingent abroad crash out of continental competition, some are still making big steps for their domestic league prospects. Bayern extend their lead at the top of the table, as Harry Kane becomes the fastest player to 60 Bundesliga goals, while Scott McTominay's winner for Napoli earned not just his second consecutive MOTM award, but saw his side go level on points with Serie A leaders Inter. Gianfranco Zola was among the latest to heap praise on him...

Elsewhere, Jonathan Rowe is candid with the press after a goalscoring appearance for Marseille, and Steve Holland's time in Japan has already come to an end. Stay in touch @intlclearance

We're delighted to be joined by 22-year-old Junior Velásquez, a Londoner that has already plied his trade in four overseas countries. He recently signed for NK Jarun Zagreb in the Croatian second tier, having enjoyed a storming half-season in rural Armenia, and we hear his experiences of those periods as well as his time in the under-age sides of Farense in Portugal, and Venezuelan giants Caracas.

Before that chat, we shout out some of the headline Brits across Europe that enjoyed their weekend, from Scott McTominay's brace on Monday night to Oli McBurnie back in the goals at Las Palmas! Follow us @intlclearance

Our roundup of British footballers abroad includes a strange week for Jude Bellingham, who had a fight with a VAR monitor at the Bernabeu this weekend. Carney Chukwuemeka scores on his long-awaited first start for loan club Dortmund, while Ademola Lookman is somehow accidentally substituted in a defeat for Atalanta. Elsewhere in Italy, Bologna captain Lewis Ferguson is close to a Coppa Italia final and, according to the press, maybe even a Serie A move closer to his compatriots...

In other transfer news, Ryan Kent finally has a new club (though not the one we expected), Jamie Gittens appears to have asked for a move this summer, and we question the future of Milan's loan duo Tammy Abraham and Kyle Walker.
