Former Chelsea midfielder Faustino Anjorin is reportedly ready to change his international allegiance from England to Nigeria, according to DAILY POST.
Born in England to a Nigerian father, the 23-year-old midfielder remains eligible to represent both countries. Anjorin has previously played for England at three different youth levels but has yet to receive a call-up to the senior national team.
Currently playing for Serie A side Empoli, Anjorin’s lack of full international opportunities with England has opened the door for him to consider representing Nigeria instead.
Sources from Soccernitty Gritty reveal that Anjorin recently held a meeting with Nigeria’s Super Eagles head coach, Eric Chelle. Following a positive and productive discussion, the talented midfielder is now willing to switch his national allegiance to Nigeria.
This move could see Anjorin joining the ranks of Nigerian internationals, adding depth and versatility to the Super Eagles midfield.
