Crofton:





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 7 goals in 8 games, we are running after him like flies .



Rubbish, I never expected him to choose Nigeria.
do u know since when he had been invited by NFF? If you don't know sport, keep quiet and don't disgrace yourself on social media

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

Factgist:

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.

Even if hes used and dumped, d caps hes has for d team and d team ranking will always boost his market value.


10caps for England is ten times price worth than 60 caps for Nigeria.

Na true my brother, even there are some people that would prefer England to Nigeria as a ball boy.
Please make sure you work smarter and harder to be their all time goal scorer.

Crofton:
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 .

God bless you for that. A millions likes.

Amaju Pinnijk has been chasing this boy since he was on loan. He just never really wanted to play for Nigeria.

Giuseppe Rossi once said he would rather play one game for Italy than 100 for USA. Don't assume players just go with whoever calls them first.
