Heartbreak for England as 27-year-old Nigeria-eligible defender reportedly dumps Three Lions for Super Eagles

The Super Eagles have reportedly won the race for the Chelsea defender who looks set to finally play for Nigeria at the international level.

Heartbreak for England as 27-year-old Nigeria-eligible defender reportedly dumps Three Lions for Super Eagles, Chelsea defender Tosin Adarabioyo is reportedly on the verge of committing his international future to the Super Eagles.

This development, while not yet official, was hinted at by Team Nigeria UK during an interview with TVC News via social media post.

Born in London, England, Adarabioyo has strong Nigerian roots, which appear to have influenced his decision to represent Nigeria at the international level.

If confirmed, he would follow in the footsteps of other prominent Anglo-Nigerian players like Alex Iwobi and Ademola Lookman, who have made similar choices in recent years.

Adarabioyo, known for his affinity towards the Super Eagles and often seen sporting their kit, could become the latest former Manchester City player to don the green and white of Nigeria, following Fisayo Dele-Bashiru’s recent debut for the national team.

The defender’s potential addition to the Super Eagles squad is expected to bring a fresh dimension to Nigeria’s defence.

His experience in the English Premier League, including his recent move to giants Chelsea, could prove invaluable for the national team’s backline.

While the Nigerian Football Federation (NFF) has not made an official announcement, the news has already generated excitement among Nigerian football fans.

Adarabioyo’s decision, if confirmed, would represent another coup for the Super Eagles in their ongoing efforts to attract talent from the diaspora.
