Chelsea’s super defender, FikayoTomori has opened the door to playing for the Nigeria Official Team, Super Eagles.
The 21-year old footballer, said although he was yet to be called up by Nigeria, and the other two countries he is eligible to play for – England and Canada, he said he has not decided which country to choose if to play in a national team.
Tomori, is eligible to play for Nigeria, where his parents are from, Canada, where he was born and England where he currently lives.
According to him, his choice might be determined by which of the countries give him a call-up.
“I’m a citizen of all three (countries) so we’ll see. I was born in Canada and lived there about seven or eight months old. My family is Nigerian, obviously I live in England.
“It’s nice to have that. I can’t play Under-21 football anymore so the last international break I didn’t get called up to anyone. Next one maybe we’ll see,” Dailymail quoted the defender.
His Chelsea teammate, Tammy Abraham is also torn between choosing the Super Eagles and the Three Lions.
Tomori, has been in fine form for Frank Lampard’s Chelsea in the 2019/20 Premier League season.
He has one goal in three league games for the Blues.
Fikayo Tomori who also played in the 1 -2 Chelsea’s loss to Liverpool match on Sunday shines out his role with the ability to block super striker, Muhammed Salah in all attack and attempts.
