Nigeria And England Battle For Everton’s Ademola Lookman (Read)

The 19-year-old has played for England’s U-19 and U-20 teams, but is now wanted by Nigeria, who he is also eligible to represent because of his parents.

Lookman’s representatives have held talks with the Nigerian Football Federation officials last week about his international future and Super Eagles handler, Gernot Rohr, is now planning to meet the forward to convince him to choose Nigeria.

Rohr is hoping to have the player available for next month’s friendly match against Senegal in London.

Lookman moved to Everton in January for £11million and has made an instant impact at the club. He scored minutes after coming on for his debut against Manchester City and has started their last two games.
