Nigeria FA holds meeting with Tammy Abraham over switching allegiance

The Nigeria Football Federation remains confident of persuading England youth international Tammy Abraham to switch allegiance, with president Amaju Pinnick confirming that he recently met with the 19-year-old.

Pinnick said earlier this month that the NFF is "working on getting Abraham," who is spending this season on loan at Swansea from Chelsea.

Abraham was born in England and has represented the nation at under-18, U19 and U21 levels, but is eligible to play for Nigeria as his father was born there.

"Most recently, there was a meeting with Tammy, which Tammy's agent, Neil Fewills, also attended," Pinnick told the NFF's website.
