The international future of Ebere Eze has for long been in the air with the England youth international constantly linked with a switch of allegiance to Nigeria but that hasn’t happened till date.
Despite training with the senior national team of Nigeria in 2017, the midfielder who has excelled this season at QPR is yet to fully come clean on his international future insisting on more time to make a decision.
Coach of the senior national team of Nigeria Gernot Rohr has long said he will love to have the midfielder in his squad but in his words he want players who are eager to wear the colours of the senior national team of Nigeria.
A source close to his agent told Owngoalnigeria.com that he is using the interest from Nigeria to alert England as he is yet to filled in his paper of switch of allegiance to FIFA. Although he accepted to watch the botched Nigeria against Sierra Leone AFCON 2021 Qualifiers game as a special guest.
Reacting to the story, a family member revealed the 23 year old is in talks with Rohr and reports of using Nigeria to attract the attention of England are wide off the mark as he isn’t that type.
“Not true” says a close family source. “He is in regular contact with two close friends in the Super Eagles and their coach”.
That might be the case, but Tami Abraham is the nephew of the Nigerian FA President but still opted for England.
“True” said our source. “But ‘Bere isn’t Tami”.
