Nigerian-born Chelsea forward Tammy Abraham is set to decide his international future between England and Nigeria in the coming days.
According to reports in British newspapers 21-year-old Abraham , will welcome England’s Three Lions invitation if called up by Gareth Southgate for their October’s Euro 2020 qualifiers against Czech Republic and Bulgaria – ending Nigeria’s quest of securing the striker’s future.
Tammy Abraham has made a decision over his international future and will accept an England callup should one come.
The striker is eligible for Nigeria too, and there had been plenty of hope from fans of the Super Eagles that the striker would be persuaded to change his path from the England youth teams to the Nigerian senior team.
When he was playing in the Championship, that seemed feasible. But now he’s banging goals in, in the Premier League he’s a hot property and Gareth Southgate may be keen to lock him in sooner rather than later.
Interest from his home country will only grow as he gets better, and each time he’s left out of the Three Lions squad he’ll be pushed back towards the land of his parentage. English Chelsea fans will be eager to see him get the nod sooner rather than later and hope he starts playing as well for England as he has done for the Blues.
