Changing a players nationality

[collisonmullan]

I have a very good potential 16 year old who is Welsh, but is also eligible for england, Is there anyway I can persuade him to play to for england instead. Obviously IRL players do this all the time.

If you are managing England, can you not just select him for the next match?  I dont think that there is a way to persuade him beforehand, unless there is an option in the conversation/interaction tab

If you're managing England, there should be an option to ask him to switch allegiance.

I've got to say, in FM19 at least, the system seemed a little flaky and random. I did a save while waiting for the FM20 beta with the Netherlands, and was approached by a player who was considering changing to Nigeria.

I told him he could be a key player, and that he wouldn't want to have to keep travelling loads for every international break, both of which he was really happy with. Still chose Nigeria.

Actually, that happened twice. One of them was even ready to be playing in my team at that time and would have been called up to the next squad.
