Hot on the heels of Wrexham goalkeeper Arthur Okonkwo committing his international future to Nigeria, two more players have been tipped to follow his footsteps.

Okonkwo was given the all clear by FIFA two days ago to switch to Nigeria, making him available for the team when they play in the Unity Cup in May, and also two high profile friendly games against Poland and Portugal respectively.

OwnGoalNigeria.com can exclusively report that the duo of Isiah Alakiu of the U18 of Brighton and Vincent Joseph of Liverpool could be the next in line, if they make the expected breakthrough at their respective teams.

18 year old Alakiu is born to a Nigerian father while his mother is from the Philippines, the country he represented at U23 level but he currently follows the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) and Super Eagles on social media.

16 year old Vincent Joseph is rated among the brightest prospects in the Liverpool youth team setup, and sees Nigeria as a better option than England.
