Nigeria's Football President Aiming to Lure England U21 International to Switch Allegiances

The president of Nigeria's Football Federation Amaju Pinnick is hoping to acquire the services of Swansea City forward Tammy Abraham - despite Abraham already making appearances for England U21s.

Abraham was born in England but is eligible to play for Nigeria due to his father's nationality and according to the Daily Mail, Pinnick claims to have grown up with Abraham's father and will use that relationship to persuade the youngster to play for Nigeria.

He's already played for England at youth level, but Tammy Abraham is in demand.

Nigeria are hoping to lure him.
