The Nigeria Football Federation ( NFF) have set a deadline for Arsenal teen star Bukayo Saka To begin the process of his nationality switch else he won’t be considered for the 2022 World Cup.
Saka is yet to decide on his senior international future with Nigeria keen on having him as part of their senior national team despite his present status as a youth international with England.
Officials of the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) have already sounded out the 18 year old but even though he seems interested in the switch he hasn’t started the process of clearing himself up for Nigeria.
“ Saka is different because he has been very honest with us. I must say his parents, agents and advisers have done well in raising him up. As a nation there are things we have in place for our team to do well.
“ One of the things is a deadline for players wanting to be part of the team. We can’t start bringing in players after qualifying for the World Cup with a different set of players. So for Saka and co there is a deadline for them to switch or forget the representing Nigeria at the next World Cup”, a chieftain of the NFF told Owngoalnigeria.com.
