The Super Eagles are reportedly set to secure Chelsea defender Tosin Adarabioyo, who appears ready to commit his international future to Nigeria instead of England.
Although the news isn’t official yet, Team Nigeria UK hinted at this development during an interview with TVC News on social media.
Born in London but with strong Nigerian roots, Adarabioyo’s decision to represent Nigeria could reflect his heritage. If confirmed, he would join other notable Anglo-Nigerian players like Alex Iwobi and Ademola Lookman, who have made similar choices in recent years.
Adarabioyo has often expressed his support for the Super Eagles, frequently seen wearing their colors. His experience in the English Premier League, particularly with Chelsea, could be a valuable asset to Nigeria’s defense.
While the Nigerian Football Federation (NFF) has yet to announce anything officially, the news has already excited Nigerian football fans.
Should Adarabioyo’s move materialize, it would be a significant win for the Super Eagles in their quest to attract talent from the diaspora. His addition to the squad alongside Iwobi and Lookman raises expectations for Nigeria’s international performances and could greatly enhance the team’s defensive options as they prepare for upcoming competitions.
