Bournemouth's Philip Billing reportedly looking to switch allegiance to Nigeria

Bournemouth midfielder Philip Anyanwu Billing may yet be in line to become a Nigeria international, but papers have not been filed with FIFA to switch his allegiance from Denmark, despite such reports.

A source at the Nigeria Football Federation told ESPN that while contact had been made with the Denmark junior international, the reports of him having submitted papers to FIFA were not quite accurate.

The source said: "As far as we know from all quarters, our side in Nigeria and Billing's, no papers have been filed with FIFA.

"No decision has been made."

On Monday, reports in Nigeria said that Billing had decided to make a u-turn and commit his international future to Nigeria.
