Coach of the senior national team of Nigeria Gernot Rohr has switched attention to Fulham midfielder Josh Onomah following his dazzling display for as his team secure promotion to the English Premier League at the expense of Brentford.
Yesterday Onomah was solid for Fulham in their 2-1 win over Brentford in the Championship promotion play offs and that performance sealed his spot in the heart of Rohr.
Rohr has been tracking the former Tottenham Hotspur teen star for a while but his form after the restart confirmed that he is ready for a shot at international football with the senior national team of Nigeria.
However, he will be needing a switch of allegiance as he has represented England at various youth levels but at the age of 22 he should be considering his options with Nigeria looking like his most viable option for international football.
Rohr is however undeterred as he only want the midfielder to commit his future to Nigeria on time so that he can file for a switch of allegiance process with FIFA before the start of qualification for the 2022 World Cup.
He appears to have jumped ahead of QPR star Ebere Eze who hasn’t covered himself in glory with the way he has gone about switching allegiance to Nigeria after thrice refusing to file in papers for switch of allegiance.
