The international future of Everton midfielder Tim Iroegbunam is still up for debate despite snubbing an approach to join the camp of the senior national team of Nigeria for the AFCON in Morocco, OwnGoalNigeria.com can exclusively reveal.
Coach of the senior national team of Nigeria Eric Chelle reached out to the 22 year old to be a part of his team, but Tim insisted on staying at Everton to stamp his feet in the team with his rival Idrissa Gueye away at the same tournament with Senegal.
Yesterday he dropped a top class performance against Manchester City in a shock 3-3 draw. A result that dented the hopes of Man City overtaking league leaders Arsenal in the race for the title.
According to his representative, his client hasn’t ruled out a switch of nationality to Nigeria after representing England and is open to talks about it at the right time.
” At the right time we will talk about it because he hasn’t said no to Nigeria contrary to what you read. When the time is right for all parties involved then we can say let’s talk about it”, he said.
