The drama surrounding Tammy Abraham's international future has finally come to an end. The youngster, on loan at Swansea City from Chelsea, has been called up to the England squad for their next set of international matches.

It's probably a good thing for everyone involved. Prior to this, there was an uncertainty that helped no one, not the player, and not the two countries contesting for his allegiance. Nigeria made the first move, but England will have the last laugh.

The Three Lions may be getting him now only to tie him down and ward off the country of his ancestry, but the truth is that, however you look at it, the Nigerian Football Federation made it easier for them by lack of awareness and being naive.
