It appears there was a miscommunication or misunderstanding regarding the inclusion of Gilles Sunu in Didier Six’s list of players called up for the friendly match against Morocco. The Togo coach, Didier Six, clarified that he had never discussed with Gilles Sunu and that there had been no contact with the player.
It’s not uncommon for national teams to pursue dual-national players, and Gilles Sunu, a French player of Togolese origin, seems to be one of the individuals coveted by the Togolese Football Federation. The situation may be resolved with more tact and communication in the future, and it remains to be seen if Sunu will consider representing Togo in the future.
These situations highlight the complexities involved in the recruitment of dual-national players, and it often requires careful communication and negotiation to convince players to switch their international allegiance.
