Reports from several sources in the Dutch media say Arnold Groeneveld Danjuma isn’t taking lightly talks of a potential switch of nationality to Nigeria after failing to get into the squad of the Netherlands.
Since his debut three years ago, the 24 year old hasn’t gotten in look in and when he moved to Villarreal he openly spoke about switching nationality if he fails to get an invitation to play for the Netherlands.
Born to parents of Nigerian descent, the main stumbling block is that he played in the UEFA Nations League at the age of 21 which per the rules makes it impossible for him to switch to another nation.
However his representatives are of the opinion that the Nations League is a friendly tournament hence shouldn’t be counted as a competitive game meaning he can still switch to Nigeria as he is keen to play in next year world cup.
The report says talks will be planned with coach Gernot Rohr of the Nigerian team who tried to get the winger before he was capped by the Netherlands three years ago.
