Wolverhampton Wanderers Under-21 starlet Ethan Sutherland has reportedly taken the first steps to avail himself for the Zimbabwe national team.

This is after a picture of him with his mother at the Zimbabwe Embassy in London was circulated. It says he was there to process his papers to obtain a passport.

The pair were pictured with Ambassador to the UK, Colonel (Rtd) Christian Katsande.

Sutherland signed for Wolves last summer from Scottish Premiership side St. Mirren, days after making his league debut as a substitute against Celtic.

He plays as a left-back after a transition from the wing.

Sutherland is 18, although he turns a year older next week.

Wolves also have Zimbabwe pair, vice captain Marshall Munetsi and Tawanda Chirewa (who is on loan at Huddersfield Town), on the books.
