Liverpool midfielder, Sheyi Ojo, says he is willing to switch allegiance to Nigeria if called upon.
Ojo, 21, has represented England at various youth levels – amassing over 35 appearances.
“To be honest, I don’t know much about it [Nigeria interest], but if they call me I’d be honoured to go to Nigeria,” Ojo told BBC Sport.
“It’s obviously a massive nation. I’m just really focused on club football at the moment, but I’m excited about the future, both club and country.
“My parents are originally from Nigeria as well, so they know a lot about it. They’ve always been keen on the idea [to represent Nigeria] but so far I’ve mainly been focusing on club football.
“It’s starting to get to the time where I have to start thinking about my future. And of course, if Nigeria were to call me now it would be an honour.
“Of course, if I was to get selected I’d definitely think about it, I’d never turn down Nigeria.
“I’m from Nigeria originally so it’d be an honour, likewise with England as well. If I keep doing well, opportunities will come by for club and country.”
Ojo is currently on loan at French side, Reims.
