Carney Chukwuemeka of German Bundesliga side Borussia Dortmund is open to the idea of playing for the senior national team of Nigeria, OwnGoalNigeria.com can exclusively reveal.
Born to parents of Nigerian descent in Austria and raised in England, the 22 year old is eligible for all three countries but so far he has only represented England at various youth levels.
Like we exclusively reported last year, he was torn between all three countries but was more hopeful on getting a chance with Austria, but it appears that is not as feasible as the chance of playing for the Super Eagles of Nigeria.
” I will say there is a huge chance with playing for Nigeria now. Some form of contact already took place with head coach of the Nigerian team Eric Chelle, and he is seriously considering the option”, a source close to the player’s camp revealed.
He was however not applied for a switch of nationality process with FIFA, but that is according to our source a matter of time. ” It’s a matter of time and patience. He will apply for it when he is ready for the next step”, he stated.
