Liverpool loanee Ejaria switches from England to Nigeria's Super Eagles

On-loan Liverpool midfielder Ovie Ejaria has switched his international allegiance from England to Nigeria.

Ejaria was born to Nigerian parents in London and went on to develop his game in the Arsenal academy for nine years before joining Liverpool as a 16-year-old.

The midfielder previously trained with the Nigeria U17 team in 2013 before making his debut appearance for the England U20 side in October 2016.

He was part of the Young Lions' set-up that won the 2017 Fifa U20 World Cup in South Korea, and he later proceeded to the U21 team in 2018.
