Bournemouth midfielder Philip Billing has revealed that Everton winger Alex Iwobi discussed the possibility of representing Nigeria at international level with him.


Billing is eligible to play for Nigeria through his father.

The 23-year-old is in line to make his international debut for Denmark at senior level in Saturday’s Euro 2020 qualifier against Switzerland, having represented the country of his birth at various youth levels.

Billing admitted that he had been flattered by interest in him.

“It wasn’t until when we (Cherries) were going to play against Everton a couple of weeks ago when Alex Iwobi asked if I might be interested in coming and playing for Nigeria,” Billing told Danish newspaper B.T.

“It’s a pat on the back that another country would like you to play for them. I just take that as a shrug and proof that you are doing well.”

He however stated the chances of turning out for Nigeria had always been slim.

“I am half Nigerian and I feel that way too but I was born and raised in Denmark. My mother is Danish and my sister is Danish, so it would feel strange to have to play for Nigeria.”

See what they did to Tammy Abraham. They brought him in the 88th minute despite Harry Kane and Declan Rice fumbling in the game. They brought him in to make him ineligible to play for Nigeria. Now that he is in great form, they won't let him shine far and above Harry Kane.


Learn from John Fashanu.

Everybody is running away from Nigeria, iwobi is playing for Nigeria because he is average. If he is in form like Abraham when Nigeria approached him he will also opt for England

Everybody's got their life to live. I'm sure there must be some underground deal going on, cos Tammy should know repping England won't end well. But I think they do that to cement their club career. He might just not make it to world cup, then he would watch Nigeria on TV same way he would watch England. I would have preferred Tomori play for us instead anyways and they are yet to use him . I'm sure they would give h his own three minutes in their next game.
