The forward talked about his reasons for pledging his international allegiance to the three-time African kings
Genk star Ike Ugbo has lifted the lid on his decision to commit his international allegiance to Nigeria and not England.
Born in Lewisham to a Nigerian father, the 22-year-old represented the Three Lions at Under-17 and Under-20 levels, playing thrice and scoring once during the 2017 Toulon Tournament which England won by defeating Portugal 3-0 in the final.
Nevertheless, in 2020 he opted to play for the three-time African champions at senior level.
