Dutch League breakout midfielder Gibson Yah is facing a dilemma picking the country he will pledge his international future to between the Netherlands and Nigeria, OwnGoalNigeria.com can exclusively reveal.
The 22 year old has blown everyone away with his performances for newly promoted Volendam, where he has two assists from his role as a defensive midfielder.
Already league giants Ajax where he spent the formative years of his career are closely monitoring him for a possible return. He was exceptional against them in a game which ended in a 1-1 draw in August.
At international level he has played for the U15 of the Netherlands, but the level isn’t recognised by FIFA keeping him eligible for Nigeria. A decision appears not to be imminent based on what we heard is going on in his camp.
While his parents and the player were initially sold out on the idea of playing for Nigeria, his agent want him to not be in a rush to commit to Nigeria with the hope that he will get into the Dutch team.
The position of the agent has slowed down what was supposed to be a straightforward process, and now what is looking to be more realistic is for him to wait until the end of the season before making a decision.
