The chances of on loan Chelsea defender Ola Aina playing for Nigeria is very bright but there are still issues surrounding his change of allegiance from England to Nigeria.
Aina represented England at various youth levels but the defender who is currently out on loan to Championship side switch allegiance to Nigeria, and even trained with the team during their training camp in England.
However his switch still has some paper works yet to be done, and Owngoalnigeria.com gathered while other FA’s under the jurisdiction of the English FA have signed their own part of the document to authenticate his switch, one more is yet to sign.
We gathered the Welsh FA are probably the ones yet to sign their own part of the document the Nigeria Football Federation need to submit to FIFA to make his switch official, and hence free to play against Cameroon in their next World Cup 2018 Qualifiers.
However the NFF are optimistic the papers will be signed before the crunch back to back tie against second placed Cameroon who are four points behind the Super Eagles in group B of the Africa World Cup 2018 Qualifiers.
