Brentford defender Michael Kayode will meet with the coach of the senior national team of Nigeria Eric Chelle at the end of the season with the coach keen on convincing him to play for Nigeria, OwnGoalNigeria.com reports.
Born in the Italian city of Borgomanero to Nigerian parents, he has represented Italy at various youth levels but he is yet to be capped at senior level, leaving him eligible for Nigeria.
Chelle has already initiated contact with the 21 year old and his initial reaction was encouraging with his chances of making the Italian team almost non existent at the moment.
However he still didn’t make a commitment, but defer any possible decision till the end of the season, and if by that time there is still no update from Italy then he won’t hesitate to commit fully to Nigeria.
In the summer, the long throw specialist is also expected to decide his future with a host of teams making him a target going into the summer transfer window. Reports say Newcastle United and Tottenham Hotspur are his main admirers.
