Former Germany U21 defender Jordan Torunarigha says he is open to having a discussion with the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) on committing his senior international future to Nigeria.
Jordan in 2018 turned down the chance to be a part of the Nigerian team who were then preparing for the World Cup as he wanted to focus on making the step up from the youth ranks of Germany.
He has since then played for Germany at U21 and U23 level making the inroad from the U15, U18, U19 and U20. The senior team should naturally be his next target but the son of former Nigeria junior international Ojokojo Torunarigha has other ideas.
Back from a successful loan spell at Belgium side Gent, Torunarigha who is linked with a possible move to English Premier League side West Ham said he is at an age where he has to consider his international future.
” I met with the ex coach of the Nigerian team Gernot Rohr and said I will make a decision after the Olympics. He is no longer in charge but if they contact me, we will talk about it. I’m at an age where youth football isn’t possible anymore. I want to enjoy senior football so I will be open to hearing from Nigeria”, the 24 year old told OwnGoalNigeria.com in an exclusive chat.
