The English FA has reportedly approached the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) for a test game between their national teams.
The Three Lions, who like the Super Eagles, have already secured their ticket to the 2018 FIFA World Cup, are aiming to kickstart preparation for the competition by testing their might against the three-time African champions.
However, the game is dependent on both teams not eventually being drawn in the same group for the Mundial.
According to FCNAIJA, the English FA contacted their Nigerian counterpart immediately the country defeated Zambia to qualify for their sixth tournament.
“We received a mail from the FA asking for the friendly with the Eagles but it will only be confirmed after the draws,” FC Naija quoted a senior official of the Glass House.
“If we are in the same group it means we cannot play against England.”
Should the international friendly eventually take place, it will be only the third meeting between both nations.
