Footballer Jordon Ibe,
rejected to play for Nigeria but have decided to play for England according to Nigeria
head coach, Sunday Oliseh.
The nineteen-year-old now
appears to have made a decision to pledge his international future to England
after being monitored by the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) since the start
of this year.
Oliseh, who only assume the
head coach role of the Nigerian men's national team in July 2015, did attempt
to convince the impressive teenager to switch his allegiance to Nigeria when he
made a trip to England in August 2015.
The Nigerian trainer has
now dropped the hint that Ibe has made a decision by "giving priority to
an England call-up."
Ibe has appeared for
England at the Under-18, 19 and 20 levels between 2012 and 2014.
Last month, the winger got
his first under-21 call-up from England, and is now in line to get a senior
invitation with the Three Lions.
Ibe, born to a Nigerian
father, has made five appearances for Liverpool this season including coming
off the bench to replace Brazilian Roberto Firmino in their 1-3 loss at
Manchester United on Saturday.
