Head coach of the senior national team of Nigeria Eric Chelle has been contacted by the agent of a lot of Nigerian players with dual nationality who are open to the idea of switching their international future to Nigeria, OwnGoalNigeria.com can exclusively reveal.
Chelle has also been active recruiting players with dual nationality and has succeeded in getting a few like Ryan Alebiosu who was at the AFCON, Arthur Okonkwo, David Ozoh, Emmanuel Fernandez and Felix Agu who are all expected to be in the team for the upcoming Unity Cup friendly tournament in London.
One player who is keen on switching to Nigeria to be a part of the team is 23 year old Southampton forward Samuel Edozie. The forward who was educated at Manchester City has represented England from U17 to U21 level.
We can exclusively reveal that his agent contacted the scout of Chelle on the possibility of getting his client, who has made ten appearances this season following his return from injury.
A response is yet to be given by the camp of the Super Eagles coach , but it is believed that even if Chelle says yes it will be too early to have him in the squad for the Unity Cup, because he will require a switch of nationality process to be approved by FIFA.
