AC Milan defender Fikayo Tomori has stated that he was never invited to represent Nigeria.
The 27-year-old currently plays for England at the international level.
Tomori developed through the Chelsea Academy and gained prominence under Frank Lampard during the 2019/2020 season.
He was born in Calgary, Alberta, Canada, to Nigerian parents, which gives him the option to represent either country.
After initially playing for the Canadian youth team, he transitioned to England’s U-19s when he turned 18.
“Nigeria isn’t a bad option, though. All my friends are there. Ola [Aina] is there, Mola [Lookman] is there, and Alex [Iwobi] is there,” Tomori mentioned on the Filthy Fellas Podcast.
“It’s not that I wouldn’t have played for them, but they never reached out to me, so I didn’t have a choice to make.
“If they had called me, I would have had a decision to consider, but they never officially contacted me.”
