I'm Nigerian but England called me first - Chelsea defender Tomori

Chelsea centre-back Fikayo Tomori admitted difficulty in choosing the country to represent at the international level.

Earlier this month, Tomori was handed his debut England call-up for their Euro 2020 qualifiers against Czech Republic and Bulgaria.

Before his selection into the Three Lions' fold, the 21-year-old was eligible to play for his county of birth, Canada or Nigeria through his parents.

Although he is yet to make his debut appearance for England, Tomori said he never received an invitation from the Super Eagles before joining Gareth Southgate's team.
