Tammy Abraham makes Nigeria wait as Super Eagles tell Chelsea star to snub England call.

Nigeria have launched an audacious attempt to convince Chelsea striker Tammy Abraham to snub England and represent the Super Eagles at international level.

Abraham made his England debut in a friendly win over Germany in November 2017 before appearing against Brazil a week later but is free to switch as he has yet to play a competitive match for Gareth Southgate.

But Abraham, who has scored four goals in his last two Chelsea games, has told Nigeria that he will not give them a final decision until next April.

Amaju Pinnick said: “We will not relent in our quest for good players to pay for the country and win laurels. We will keep talking to good players of Nigerian descent to play for their Fatherland.

“But these kids are very independent minded. We have been told to wait until April 2020, when he hopes to make a final decision on the matter.

“I told him that he had a better chance of playing regularly for Nigeria than with England, which has a galaxy of strikers.”

Abraham won 25 caps for England Under-21s, scoring nine goals.

Previously, Crystal Palace star Wilfried Zaha in 2016 opted to snub England, despite coach Gareth Southgate’s attempts to persuade him, and decided to play for the Ivory Coast.

The forward scored twice for the Ivory Coast as they reached the quarter finals of the 2019 Africa Cup of Nations in Egypt this summer.

Abraham’s recent strikes against Norwich and Sheffield United have helped justify Frank Lampard’s decision to place faith in the Chelsea academy graduate.

And Lampard has revealed he has been helping the former Bristol City, Swansea and Aston Villa loanee to improve his game.

“I’m delighted with Tammy, delighted with his attitude,” Lampard said.

“He has a really great attitude in training and desire to score. His all-round game as well.

“We’ve been working really closely with Tammy on little bits of his game that can be even better.

“He is really receptive to that and I thought the performance was class, he was really unlucky not to have three.”

Next up for Chelsea after the international break is Saturday September 14’s Premier League showdown with Wolves at Molineux.

I'm honestly not angry with Abraham cos it's not his fault. It's ours. When you don't place value on yourself, it'll allow other people to treat you anyhow. Nigeria has not placed any atom of value on itself and image and as a result, a championship level player is playing tete with the country's call up.

He'll be so foolish to play for country with lesser values for her citizens.

He'd better not throw his career away by committing the same blunder that has jinxed Alex Iwobi.

At the moment England has a lot of bright young and talented footballers who've come through the ranks like Raheem Sterling, Phil Foden, Jadon Sancho, Mason Mount, Mason Greenwood etc

Tammy Abraham would fit PERFECTLY into the England set up and he'll enjoy the added advantage of playing in a National team where you don't hear about stupid stories like players threatening to go on strike because greedy officials have pocketed their match allowances.

He will add the much needed value to our front line. Ighalo can finally retire in peace and save us all his wastefulness.
About him putting Nigeria on hold, it's a big decision and everyone will agree that he needs to weigh his options carefully. I'll be glad to see him in the green and white colors but if he opts for England, its a great decision for him too.
Up Gunners!

He should go and play for the 3 Lions.

We are waiting. Gabriel Agbonlahor comes to mind.

We don't need Tamite.

f

Nigeria should just leave the kid alone abeg

For why.. don't come to Nigeria o.... we when dey here dey find way to comot

This Tammy Abraham will be worse than yakubu if he gets into SE.
We don't need him abeg

He better choose to play for Nigeria, or he should look at the carrier of his former colleague who once played for England at their peak level and later snub where things where tough for them , the likes of Agbonlahor , John fash and co, a word is enough for the wise. .

He's great, abraham is sure a great player


What's ever his decision is

Let him play for whichever country he wants to. It's his choice.

Confused fellow

If we have to beg this boy to play for us, we shall continue to beg him to play to instructions.
Please NFF should snub the dude he's not interested in playing for us so let him be

Nobody should mind this boy. He thinks he is smart. He's trying to use switching to Nigeria to threaten England for a place in the 3 lions team. He said he will decide latest April 2020.

Question: If Gareth Southgate should invite him today, will he reject or jump at the offer to play for England?
