Curran, who was born in Ryde and raised in Tasmania, has a Scottish father and a Filipino mother. The 22-year-old spent two years with the Central Coast Mariners before joining Dundee in 2015.

Now Sven Goran-Eriksson wants him to commit his international future to the Azkals.

"I have spoken to Sven Goran Eriksson," Curran told The Scottish Sun.

"He rang me up and invited me out to have a look around and to see what I think. I might go and have a look. He has worked with some top clubs, countries and players so there will be a lot to learn from him, if I do go.

“They have qualified for the Asian Cup. It is massive for them and I think it is the first time they have qualified in years."

Curran, who moved to Sydney as a 16-year-old to attend Westfield Sports High, is eligible to represent three countries in Australia, Scotland and the Philippines.

"My mum is from Manila so that’s the link," he said.

"She comes from a family of 12 brothers and sisters. They all want me to play for the Philippines.

“I went out there a couple of years ago and it doesn’t look a bad place to stay.

"My mum wants me to play for the Philippines but I have had to tell her to calm down and look at every option.

“When I was a bit younger I went to an Australia U20s camp for a week.

“But the game got called off and I never got that cap. They have come and watched a couple of my games this season. They were looking for a right-back but I have moved forward now and Martin Boyle is playing on the right wing now.

"He comes from Scotland and you have Tom Rogic at Celtic. Maybe I can get on to that stage. I just have to see what happens. I can also play for Scotland. I will wait and see what happens and after that I can weigh up my options."

The former Devonport City junior can play at right back, defensive midfielder and on the right win.

Curran was named as the Mariners' National Youth League player of the year in 2014.

He has made 21 appearances and scored one goal for Dundee this season.
