Chelsea defender Tosin Adarabioyo has finally decided to pledge his international future to Nigeria, OwnGoalNigeria.com can exclusively reveal.
Tosin has been on the radar of the Super Eagles since 2018 but has constantly refused to commit to the team, hoping for a chance to the senior national team of England where he was a youth international.
However after failing to catch the attention of head coach Thomas Tuchel, the 28 year old has officially confirmed that he is willing to commit to the senior national team of Nigeria.
He said sequel to his visit to Nigeria in the summer, he followed the team at the AFCON and after his experience with England at various youth levels he is now looking forward to representing Nigeria at senior level, and said it will be a great honour to dorn the green white green of Nigeria.
“I have been through the English youth national teams. I was born in London, but I also feel very connected to my Nigerian roots. Last summer I spent my vacation in Nigeria, it’s a wonderful country with a fascinating culture. I followed the Nigerian national team intensively at the last Africa Cup of Nations, they have a fantastic team. It would be a great honour for me to wear the green jersey, but currently my focus is entirely on my goals with Chelsea FC”, he was quoted as saying by Tribuna.
