Aluko's response says it all. ![]() ![]() ![]() Ex-England Youth Int'l Urges Chelsea, Liverpool, Spurs Talents To Play For Nigeria Not Three Lions Published: June 15, 2017 Ex-England Youth Int'l Urges Chelsea, Liverpool, Spurs Talents To Play For Nigeria Not Three Lions Former England U19 international Sone Aluko has urged Chelsea duo Dominic Solanke and Fikayo Tomori, Liverpool midfielders Sheyi Ojo and Ovie Ejaria, Tottenham Hotspur's Josh Onomah and Everton teen sensation Ademola Lookman to switch their international allegiance from England to Nigeria. The Fulham winger admitted that it would be difficult for the Nigerian Federation to convince the six players, who starred for England U20s at the World Cup, to represent the Super Eagles because they learnt their craft and were raised in England. ''The onus is on Nigeria and not the players. Nigeria have to make it attractive for these players to leave the path they've known,'' Aluko said to Complete Sports. ''After being in the English system, and Nigeria who have never invested in their career invite them, it would be difficult.'' He added : ''Even me that can be described as a success story, I only have six caps, I haven't started in a competitive game for Super Eagles but I have scored two goals and people said I have done well. ''So it is the responsibility for Nigeria to make it attractive for them which I think is what they are trying to do now in getting these players. '' This website understands the Nigeria Football Federation have attempted to persuade Ojo, Ejaria, Onomah and Lookman to switch allegiance to play for Nigeria as opposed to their country of birth, while Solanke and Tomori wish to continue playing for England. Chelsea defender Ola Aina, a former England U19 captain, could make his competitive debut for the Super Eagles when they tackle Cameroon in August if the NFF sort out his paperwork in time.

forgiveness: Please, Aluko should chill. It is not easy here. It is as simple as that. The likes of Keshi, Okocha, Kanu, Oliseh, Amunike and co. made lots of sacrifices to stay with the Super Eagles and keep the flag flying. That is why we need those who are ready to make sacrifices to play for the Super Eagles. Those who will go through challenges but keep turning up to play for the team. That is why someone like Anichebe took off. It is not easy down here. We need those who understand the sacrifice to shine in the green white green jerseys. Ask Mikel. 2 Likes |

The old center forward is very needed. Last I heard they are still active in club football. I bet when a new player comes up next year, you'd clamor for Iheanacho to retire as you'd classify him as "the old center forward". Only in Nigeria you see this kinda quick discard of players TheGoodJoe: 1 Like |

Dedebanky85: I have always maintained best performing players. I am one of those who fill Mikel Obi is an asset to the team, however, he is one of the most senior players. My problem is that I prefer strikers like Aguero, Suarez, Torres, Benzema etc to the Big ones Crouch, Bony, Anichebe etc. The earlier ones fit the modern day forwards and strategies. |

forgiveness: “Without club football there is no international football and everyone at Everton was with me every step of the way during my injuries and rehabilitation,” Anichebe noted. “I didn’t feel that the Nigerian Football Federation was there for me the in the same manner, which was especially disappointing given that I got the injury representing my country."

Humility017: The solution is simple. He is ready to play for us. The coaching crew should study his tapes and see if there is a possibility he is better than what we already have. If it looks so, invite him to camp and watch him closely. If he is better than what we have, cap him and slowly introduce him to the team. 1 Like |

forgiveness: “For some reasons the Nigerian FA and fans only seem to want players when they are already the finished article and then judge them when they officially pledge their allegiance at senior level for the country where they actually plied their trade. “For example why wasn’t (Victor) Moses, (Shola) Ameobi or (Victor) Anichebe invited to play for Nigeria before they proved themselves in England squads?...Agbonlanhor Now, read this one of Agbonlanhor. He wants us to invite them when they are not big to the National team. ![]() ![]() ![]() Will England cap V. Moses, Shola and Anichebe before they made it? The likes of Osaze, Uche, Martins and Emenike will not complain after making it in Europe before getting capped by the National team. We need devoted players who will jump at a chance to play for the Super Eagles. It was after Iheanacho broke into City he got capped by the Super Eagles. Onyekuru is still fighting despite scoring loads but he will still jump at the opportunity to represent us. |

TheGoodJoe: Do you understand what you are saying ![]() That to play for Nigeria you must take abuse, denigration, accept nepotism, unprofessionalism, spend your money and if possible loose your career as well as your life. I recall when Nigeria went to go and play Sudan in Khartoum and the plane chartered was in such obvious visual disrepair. That Enyeama broke down and cried even offered to hire another plane with thier own money. It was construed to be insubordination by the powers that be. The way Aluko has been treated does not represent a good example and inspiration to attract players to play for the SE. To accept unwholesome behaviour by officials is not sacrifice but acceptance of wrong. It's like saying because police always ask for bribe it is sacrifice to give it. Sone Aluko stood up for uncompromising integrity and was penalised and pushed aside as a result. More disturbing is that nobody in position of authority said anything thier silence has been complicit consent. At one stage I thought you resided here in Manchester but I know I am totally wrong. Your views reflect a warped mindset that accepts corruption as normal and should be accepted as part of national sacrifice. Well I will not without apology and will rather pay the price for integrity. 6 Likes |

komekn: Yes. What some of this men complain as being maltreated is something that comes normal with the team. Remember during the CHAN Oliseh handled and he had to use his own money to feed the team during the competition. When Peterside Idah visited the team, Oliseh asked him for money for the team. These guys sacrifice. We do not have a healthy football system. That is why the likes of Okwaraji, Keshi and co. are seen as more than footballers. Remember Siasia meeting Odili and Alameiseigha to raise money for the U20 team. If the players start listing the sacrifices they go through to wear our jersey, you will shiver. In America, the Olympic team got stranded after a buglar stole Siasia's credit cards. That was before the arrival of Mikel. Is it selection challenges? Martins was on fire, Yakubu was missing and Martins will still jump at an opportunity to play. Even after Keshi refused to call him, Martins still wanted to play. I hope Aluko gets a call up. The Super Eagles will benefit from his talent. I am just pointing out that the reality on ground needs players that will sacrifice a lot for the team. |
