Chelsea star Tammy Abraham has made his intentions clear that his passionate dream has always been to represent England and not Nigeria. 

The 22-year-old striker of Nigerian origins was recently called up by England for the Euro 2020 qualifiers in the Czech Republic and Bulgaria taking place this month.

 Tammy Abraham who was born in the UK to Nigerian parents is actually eligible to represent the senior national team of Nigeria despite representing England at verious levels which include Under 18, Under 19 and Under 21 levels.

However with his recent call-up to the England senior team, the young striker will no longer be able switch his allegiance to Nigeria if he plays for England in their upcoming matches. 

Abraham has now come out to clear the air that his first choice option has always been to represent England and not Nigeria.

In a new interview on Mail Online Sport, he revealed saying,

'For me, it's always nice to be wanted by two nations. Clearly, it means you're doing something well.

' At the back of my head, I've always wanted to play for England. I was born and grown in England.'

My dream was always to play for England. It doesn't effect the fact Nigeria still wanted me, and it's a big nation. I love both nations.

My head was just screwed on with England.'I'm here and I'm ready to stay. I want to do the best I can.

That means playing well, for club and country.'Just hopefully I can get many years experience under my belt for England.'


Tammy Abraham was called alongside his Chelsea teammate Fikayo Tomori, who though born in Canada has Nigerian roots.

Sure.. Nigeria didnt invest in him, so how come they want to reap where they did not sow?

we no go early

we for go when Chelsea dey loan him up and down

Kane go use bench wound am , English don't joke with their real natives

He shldnt worry, wen he's dropped afta a few caps he'll understand d nightmare

Born and raised Tammy you no be plant

It makes sense, he was developed in England, Bred in England and Plays in England, there's no sensible reason for him to play here. We did nothing for him.


Let's stop chasing Players with dual Nationality and start building and developing our local boys.
Nigeria is among the top 15 biggest followers of European football yet it's almost impossible to find a standard football club or stadium here .

Don't mind our people, when the guy was struggling to find form and stability, we didn't even call him to play in a friendly or any youth match.
Now that he has scored 8 goals in 8 games, we are running after him like flies .



Rubbish, I never expected him to choose Nigeria.



Modify: NFF actually called him ! But his decision is completely logical.

Nigeria wants to reap what they did not sow
England trained you

so give them back

Respect your decision bro
I just pray and Hope all goes well as planned for you

The same England people that called you ugly Monkey when you missed Penalty against Liverpool

He made the right decision following his heart otherwise, he will be playing rubbish for the country he will be coerced to play for and not from his heart. See my signa ture for lexus

Another Gabriel Agbolahor in the making. Gbolahor was way better than Tammy yet he was used and dumped, Dele Ali is already done representing England, Late Ugo Ehiogu got the same treatment. John Fashanu still regret till date for dumping Nigeria. Ameobi changed his decision when it was too late. And host of others. The English team has never retained any player for longer period except when they are extremely good like the likes of Beckham, Lampard, Scholes, Shearer, Rooney, Lineker, neville, etc. Tammy and Fikayo will be used and dumped as usual.

Goodluck, enjoy ur short term career at the International level.

Las las England will not win World Cup and Nigeria will not win too.

Nothing spoil except one day they will set him up and go after his money. He will then run down to Naija like John Fashanu.

Drew

Speak less

Enjoy it while it last, if I was him, I will speak less, he should ask Agbonlahor

The only reason you are playing in England is because Rashford has dropped form. You seem like another Welbeck though

Good one boy. It's better for England to use an dump him. If he plays for Nigeria, the highest he will win is third place at the low quality African Nations cup.

He started his career in England, England developed him, all of a sudden Nigeria wants him. Dey wanna reap where dey did not sow. Where was Nig wen he was struggling to make a name for himself?

Besides all dem people hating him for not playing for super eagle are d ones dat ll jump at a Canadian visa to leave dis shit hole at slightest opportunity

Develop ur career where ur heart chooses and leave all boffuns cont to lament about England dumping him.

His dream bench.

Wish him all the best.
England don work, make we let them chop na

Alright. We do not need him. I don't know why people are making a big deal out of this. We have osimhen

Understandable

Factgist:

Think of what u will do for ur country not what ur country will do for u....

I shouldn’t be saying this, but he made the right choice, for obvious reasons. Naija sha... *shakes head and walks away

They said igbos don't like Nigeria. But I assure you If Abraham were to be Igbo he will chose Nigeria.

Abraham goes the way of his brothers they always choose other Nation before Nigeria.

What I kn is one day players will be queing to play for the Super eagles

I just use style pity this boy... Chai


England na confirm player... Better Yoruba demon

Use and Dump.

Put yourelf in his shoes first before you blame him.

Recall...

To play for Nigeria you must pay corruption fee.
If you get injured you'll be the one to bare the cost of your treatment.

This guy no be nNaija na Briton. Anyone in his shoes that chose Naija over Briton or any other developed country needs to join those FRSC has sent to Yaba Left for check up.
Nigeria needs to work on herself as a country first then other things will fall in place.
Apart from him having naija blood in him what really makes him naija
