England coach Gareth Southgate has insisted that he won&rsquo;t force players who have dual nationality to represent the Three Lions, stating that they should be honoured to wear the England jersey without persuasion.<br /><br />In the last few days, the Nigeria Football Federation have held talks with Arsenal striker Chuba Akpom, Chelsea defender Ola Aina, Sunderland&rsquo;s Josh Maja and QPR starlet Eze over committing their international future to the Super Eagles, while the progress of Ovie Ejaria at Liverpool is being monitored. <br /><br />And it appears the leadership of the Federation was successful in the approach, with Akpom, Aina and Eze training with the national team in London this week. <br /><br />&ldquo;In the end I have to focus on players who are desperate to play for England. I&rsquo;m not aware those sorts of players are wanting to play for England or not really..., &rdquo; Southgate said. <br /><br />&ldquo;I didn&rsquo;t get capped until I was 25 and I had no interest in playing for anyone else. I&rsquo;m English and proud to be English and I think part of your identity as a national team has to be pride in the shirt.<br /><br />&nbsp;&ldquo;So for me the commitment has to come from the player.&rdquo;<br /><br />Everton&rsquo;s Ross Barkley and Tottenham Hotspur midfielder Dele Alli were eligible to play for the Super Eagles before they became cap-tied to England. <br /><br />Igho Kingsley <br /><br />Photo Credit : thenff.com<br />
