Jaden Umeh’s ‘natural goalscoring’ ability and ‘physicality’ can bolster Ireland’s depth along the Euro ’28 journey, according to Heimir Hallgrimsson.

The Ireland manager will work with the 18-year-old Corkman from tomorrow when the Benfica attacker is among 21 players reporting for a training camp in Spain.
