Report: NFF Hold Secret Talks With Chelsea Wonderkid Over Playing For Nigeria

Nigeria Football Federation held secret talks with an English-born Chelsea starlet over committing his international future to Nigeria ahead of his country of birth, according to Allnigeriasoccer.

The Nigerian website says that the player was sighted at the Super Eagles Crowne Plaza Hotel Ealing hotel this week before the national team's friendly with Serbia at the Hive Stadium.

The report included that the identity of the highly-rated player is being protected as a result of the complications that arose after England U21 international Tammy Abraham's 'positive meeting' with NFF President Amaju Pinnick last year, only for him to be forced to reverse his decision when the news broke out.

At the moment, the player's international future lies with England's Young Lions but the Nigerian Federation feel they can persuade him to change his mind by playing the Ola Aina card.
