Chelsea defender Tosin Adarabioyo don talk say im dey very close to make decision about which country im go represent for international football.
Di former Manchester City and Fulham player confirm say im ready to finally decide whether na Nigeria im go play for.
Di tall central defender wey born for London to Nigerian papa and mama still fit play for both England and Nigeria.
Adarabioyo don represent England for youth level — from U16 reach U19 — and e bin look like say na England im go finally play for.
But since 2015, im never wear England shirt again, and even though e dey play well for club level, England never call am for senior team.
Now wey e don play for clubs like Manchester City, West Brom, Blackburn Rovers, Fulham and now Chelsea — where im just win di UEFA Conference League — Adarabioyo talk say e don reach time to choose country, and Nigeria fit be di answer.
To clear rumours say e don reject Nigeria before, Adarabioyo talk say:
“Those tori no correct at all. I never turn down Nigeria. I never even talk with dem say I go play for Nigeria.
“Last season wey small talk bin dey, I tell dem say make I just focus on my club football. That time I dey last year for Fulham and I just wan concentrate well.
“Now I dey Chelsea, and I still dey focus on my first season here.
“But now I feel say time don reach for me to make di final decision.”
Di Nigeria Football Federation don dey follow di 27-year-old for long, as dem dey plan to bring new players join di defence wey dey age.
Di current defenders like William Troost-Ekong, Leon Balogun, Semi Ajayi, and Kenneth Omeruo all don pass 30 years, so dem dey find fresh blood.
Super Eagles coach, Eric Chelle, don already dey scout new talents from Europe and Nigeria local league.
For di Unity Cup match against Ghana on Wednesday, Chelle give debut to Ifeanyi Onyebuchi and Igoh Ogbu.
Nigeria beat Ghana and go play against Jamaica for final on Saturday.
If Adarabioyo finally join Super Eagles, e go come at better time, as Nigeria dey prepare for Africa Cup of Nations qualifiers. With im calmness and strong head work, e fit add better balance to Nigeria defence.
