Bassey, who is in charge of Nigeria’s Future Eagles, has opened the door for dual-eligible players like Nwaneri to join the Nigerian national team. When asked about the possibility of inviting Nwaneri to the Future Eagles, Bassey said. “Yes, if their parents contact us. Like now, we have a player, Kunle, he is Nigerian and also Canadian, we gave him that invitation.”
Bassey’s comments suggest that Nigeria is willing to give Nwaneri the opportunity to represent the country of his father’s birth. However, the final decision will depend on Nwaneri’s parents and his own personal preference.
Nwaneri’s elder brother, Ethan, is also a talented young player who has already represented England at the U17 level. However, Emerson’s situation is different, and he is still eligible to switch allegiance to Nigeria until he is provisionally capped by England.
The Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) has been working to identify and develop young talent, both at home and abroad. The NFF’s efforts have led to the discovery of several talented young players, including Nwaneri, who could potentially represent Nigeria in the future.CLICK TO READ THE FULL NEWS HERE▶️▶️
