22 year old Danish born midfielder who is eligible for Nigeria Philip Anyabwu Billing has emerged as a prime target for the senior national team of Nigeria, Owngoalnigeria.com can exclusively report.
Billing has already represented Denmark at at U19 and 21 level but he is yet to be capped at senior level leaving the Huddersfield midfield ace eligible for Nigeria and coach Gernot Rohr has indicated his interest in luring him.
Already his recently appointed scout Tunde Adelakun has been mandated to hold talks with the left footed central midfielder who has been a revelation for Huddersfield this season in the English Premier League.
Although Everton ace Ademola Lookman looks the surest bet to switch allegiance from England to Nigeria in the coming days, Billing has welcomed the talks base on initial contacts made with him.
The plan is to convince him to join the squad after the last round of qualifiers for the 2019 Africa Cup of Nations with Nigeria a win away from qualifying ahead of their upcoming games against South Africa and later Seychelles.
