There has been a lot of hype since last summer when it comes to his international career Joel Embiid.

His Cameroonian star NBA expressed his desire to compete with the national team of France, as a result of which he acquired French citizenship in July. However, a little later, in September, he also took out an American passport, without anyone knowing which national team he will choose to play for in the end.

The French, however, remain convinced that the 28-year-old center will prefer to compete with the “blues”. This was also emphasized by one of the stars of the national team, Evan Fournierwho spoke to Mundo Deportivo about the possibility of joining Embed on the team’s roster, stressing that such a thing would be very positive and would improve France tremendously.

“Joel Embiid with us? We’ll see. He got American citizenship but I don’t think he will play for USA. If he chooses France, he will be welcome. We will welcome him with open arms. We will be very competitive with another tall coming up. We have something special being built.”specifically stated their French guard New York Knicks.
