Everton Forward Ademola Lookman Pledges International Future to England Amid Nigeria Switch Rumours

Everton's Ademola Lookman has pledged his international future to England, despite mounting interest in his services from Nigeria.

The Toffees youngster was a prominent member of the Three Lions Under-21 squad that lifted the World Cup in 2017, but since then he has been subject of interest from Nigeria - who have been hoping to persuade Lookman to change his international allegiance to play for the Super Eagles at senior level.

It appears he has now reached a decision though, with MailOnline Sport reporting that face-to-face talks with Under-21 manager Aidy Boothroyd have helped him decide to represent England - leaving him clear to focus on preparing for the Under-21 European Championship, which takes place in Italy next summer.
