The immediate international future of 21 year old Everton midfielder Tim Iroegbunam is firmly in favour of Nigeria at the moment despite his present status as a youth team player for England, OwnGoalNigeria.com can exclusively reveal.
Iroegbunam has 13 caps for England but qualifies for the senior national team of Nigeria through his parents and in recent times that option of switching to Nigeria has appealed to the former Aston Villa man.
Head coach of the senior national team of Nigeria Eric Chelle has his name down among potential targets he hopes to meet when the team play in a friendly tournament called Unity Cup in England. A meeting that we can exclusively gathered has the blessing of the player.
Chelle is eager to grow his options in midfielder owing to the fact that he plays the diamond formation, and he sees Tim as one player who can easily fit into the system and he is willing to push for him to switch to Nigeria.
We gathered he isn’t the only player that the coach plans to meet in London with as many as four others, who are also eligible to play for Nigeria also in the frame for a meeting with the coach.
