Despite representing England and Germany at youth level, the three-time African champions are keen on seeing the forward represent them
The Nigeria Football Federation wants Manchester City forward Lukas Nmecha to play for the Super Eagles at senior level.
Born to a Nigerian father and German mother in Hamburg, the 22-year-old is eligible to represent the West Africans despite featuring for England and Germany at youth level.
At the just-concluded 2021 Uefa European U21 Championship staged in Slovenia, Nmecha’s 49th-minute strike inspired Stefan Kuntz’s team to a 1-0 defeat of Portugal in the final staged at the Stozice Stadium, Ljubljana.
