Joshua Oluwayemi is one name that fans of English side Tottenham Hotspur have come to associate with in recent days following his step up to the main team.
The 20 year old has been with the first team for one week now owing to the injury forced absence of Alfie Whiteman. Oluwayemi has also impressed with the U23s in Premier League 2.
His international future is one which has also been discussed as he is eligible for England and Nigeria but he has made it clear that playing for Nigeria is an option he is keen on exploring.
He has already met with Super Eagles legend Kanu Nwankwo and some Nigeria
Football Federation officials and despite representing England at U15 and U16 levels, he won’t be requiring a switch of allegiance process as the level is seen as non competitive.
‘’If Nigeria comes for me, then I’ll go but at the moment I am focusing on England youth, and then Nigeria first”, he said in 2020.
“I have never actually travelled to Nigeria but the thing with London, the community, is like I have been to Nigeria.
“I am surrounded by some Nigerian uncles coming around but I’ve never actually been to Nigeria. Definitely, there are plans to visit Nigeria with my parents.”
“I have had couple of Nigerian people after games. I saw Kanu one time, he was at one of our games, he was talking to my dad, but not really like that.
“Definitely I’ll be looking at Nigeria but my options are open.
