Nigeria Monitoring Charlton Athletic Wonderkid Lookman ; Striker Prefers England
Charlton Athletic wonderkid Ademola Lookman is on the radar of the Nigeria Football Federation with respect to a possible call up to the national team in future.<br /><br />With two caps which came in friendly fixtures in June, it is all but confirmed that the highly-rated striker will make his competitive debut for England U19s in Tuesday night’s tie against France at the European U-19 Championship.<br /><br />If that comes to pass, the Nigeria Football Federation will need to get approval from Fifa before Lookman can switch allegiance to Nigeria.<br /><br />“We have put down names of those players to the Nigeria Football Federation as potential call ups, over 25 names for now playing well in their various clubs, ” Team Nigeria UK boss David Doherty told allnigeriasoccer.com.<br /><br />“But at present Lookman is enjoying and focusing on England call ups, he is at the European U19s.”<br /><br />Born in London 18 years ago, Ademola Lookman was named the Football League Championship Apprentice of the Year last season.<br /><br />Originally published by Ifeanyi Emmanuel on July 12, 2016<br /><br />Photo Credit : Twitter.com
