Ipswich Town midfielder Abube Onuchukwu has committed his international future to Nigeria according to Allnigeriasoccer.com, despite being eligible to play for England through his British passport.
The 19-year-old’s decision aligns with his admiration for the Super Eagles and their standout players, such as Victor Osimhen and Ola Aina.
Flying Eagles Call-Up on the Horizon
Onuchukwu’s commitment comes ahead of the 2025 U20 Africa Cup of Nations in Ivory Coast, where Nigeria aims to showcase its burgeoning talent.
The Flying Eagles’ coaches are reportedly considering him for a training camp invitation before the tournament kicks off in April.
This move underlines the growing appeal of the Super Eagles to dual-nationality players.
Recent examples include Alex Iwobi, who switched from representing England at youth level, and stars like Ola Aina and Ademola Lookman, who were born abroad but now shine in Nigerian colors.
