The move here was aimed at her career, the nationality change was aimed at getting more funding for her career. Nothing more, nothing less - a cynical usage of national status.

Welsh legacy players is different to this case for the most part. There's no English, British blood in Konta's family. The only comparable situation you could use would be if Whitts played for Wales due to having been resident here for so long - which simply would not happen at all in football, at least not in British football.
Wasn't there some excitable talk about Angel Rangel becoming eligible for Wales?
