Former Chelsea midfielder Faustino Anjorin is set to switch his international allegiance from England to Nigeria.
Born in England to a Nigerian father, the 23-year-old remains eligible to play for either nation and has previously represented England at three youth levels.
The versatile midfielder, currently playing for Serie A side Empoli, has yet to receive a call-up to England’s senior national team.
This has opened the door for him to represent Nigeria instead.
Anjorin recently held a meeting with Super Eagles head coach Eric Chelle and, following a positive discussion, is now willing to switch his international allegiance to Nigeria.
With his decision to represent Nigeria, Anjorin could soon join the ranks of other foreign-born talents who have strengthened the Super Eagles in recent years.
His addition would offer the team more depth in midfield as they continue to build for future international competitions.
