As Nigeria continue the drive to have more players born outside the shores of the country pledge their allegiance to the senior national team of Nigeria, Dominic Solanke is one name that is expected to be in the list.
This season he has been ever present for Bournemouth, who are facing a huge battle to remain in the English top flight at the end of the season as they are stucked in the relegation zone with 27 points.
For the 18th placed team, Solanke has had a fairly good season with four goals and four assists to his name from 24 games in the league. His form has been one of the few positives for the team.
Speaking on a podcast monitored by OGN, the 25 year old who was once upon a time on the books of Chelsea and later Liverpool revealed he still has dreams of playing for England in the future.
” It’s England for me in the future but it starts with my form at my club. I know a lot has been said about playing for Nigeria but no one has contacted me about it. Maybe they will in the future”, he said when asked on if he sees playing for Nigeria as an option.
