The representative of Chelsea defender Tosin Adarabioyo says England based Nigerian football administrator David Doherty lied over his claims in an interview with TVC that his client has decided to play for the Super Eagles of Nigeria, OwnGoalNigeria.com reports.
In an interview anchored by the media officer of the senior national team of Nigeria Promise Efoghe, Doherty said the news of th decision of the 27 year old to switch to Nigeria is a welcome development as he is approaching his prime years.
Doherty went further to throw shades at the former captain of the senior national team of Nigeria Mikel Obi who criticized players switching to Nigeria at the latter stages of their career, after failing to make headway with their first choice option of international football.
Reacting to the story, Gbolahan Adarabioyo the elder brother of the defender who also doubles as his agent told our source that the news is not true, saying a decision on switching to Nigeria isn’t on the menu of the lanky defender.
Although Tosin has a personal relationship with the interim coach of the senior national team of Nigeria Austine Eguavoen, a switch of nationality isn’t on the card and haven’t been discussed by both parties since Eguavoen took over in his present role.
