Coach of the English national team Gareth Southgate is under immense pressure to cap U21 ace Ebere Eze ahead of the start of the European Championship.
See who is also eligible for Nigeria has also boosted his chances with near faultless performance the past omw month with coach of the Nigerian team Gernot Rohr describing him as the most attack conscious player he has seen in a while.
“This is a wonderful player, Ebere Eze is one of the best offensive midfielders I’ve ever seen in England and I would like to have him with us, but you know that he can also play for England and already played for one team in England,” Rohr said to Elegbete TV Sports.
“I sent him a message and in this message, I showed the interest Nigeria has to get him in this team so he replied and he said he has to think about it, so it is not the moment to speak too much about it.
Since then, there have been lots of articles, opinions and reports on what Eze will add to the English team at the Euros with many saying he could be the perfect replacement for Jack Grealish, who is an injury doubt for the tournament.
Also there have been suggestions that the decision of UEFA to increase the numbers of players in a nations squad to 26 from 23 should see the likes of Eze getting a look in base on what he has done so far at Crystal Palace.
Even if he ends up missing out on the squad for the tournament, England can be rest assured that he is keen on representing them at least at the moment. Something he has said severally.
Nigeria still holds an interest in him but it is very unlikely he will consider them at the moment when he is in the discussion for a call up to the English team that he has always loved to play for.
