England international defender Fikayo Tomori says his decision to shun an international career with Nigeria in favour of England still remains the toughest of his career.
Three years ago, Tomori turned down the chance to represent Nigeria at senior level in favour of England. He hasn’t quite hit the expected height with the Three Lions but he is back in the squad after helping AC Milan to the Serie A title.
Speaking on his return, Tomori who was eligible for Nigeria, Canada and England before settling for the latter said Nigeria made the most push to have him commit his future to them.
” I was at a stage where I played for Canada at youth level then later England. At senior level Nigeria had this thing with me due to my parents. I follow the senior national team of Nigeria a lot as a kid and as expected my parents saw it as a dream if I play for Nigeria”, he said via quotes sourced from Milan based podcast Forza Milan.
” If I say it is one of the difficult decision of my career, then it’s not a lie. It still remains one of the hardest decision of my career”, he concluded.
