Former England international John Fashanu has warned Arsenal teen star Bukayo Saka not to pick England over NIgeria as the drag of his international future intensifies.
Fashanu was faced with same dillema like Saka in the early 90’s and decided to commit his future to England ahead of NIgeria but the former Wimbledon striker only got to play one game for the Three Lions.
Saka is presently with the U21 team of England with reports of him turning down the chance to be a part of the senior team as he is yet to make up his mind on the senior national team he will represent
Sounding a note to the wing forward who is also comfortable as a left back , Fashanu said he shouldn’t make same mistake like he did because he ended up regretting his decision to snub Nigeria for England.
“Looking back I know if I had the opportunity again I will definitely choose Nigeria even if I had to pay I wouldn’t care because I would have just pay but then been a young player you always think of the money first.
“Now I will tell the young lad right now don’t make the same mistake I made things have changed. Even if they are asking for money from the coach and that’s only a rumour I’m not saying it is true you have to stand strong and you’re black you play for Nigeria.
“England will let you play three four five matches like I did which is great and they will never use you again whereas Nigeria will continue to use you all the way through.”
