England U20s Assistant Coach Paul Williams has announced his roster for the upcoming four-nation tournament which will take place in England from October 5-10.

Liverpool midfielder Ovie Ejaria has received his first international call-up at any level for England, putting his commitment to Nigeria in doubt having trained with the Golden Eaglets in 2013.

The former Arsenal starlet wasn’t the only player of Nigerian descent included in the roster, with Chelsea duo Fikayo Tomori and Dominic Solanke, Tottenham Hotspur’s Josh Onomah and Charlton Athletic striker Ademola Lookman also selected.

England U20s will tackle Netherlands, Germany and USA during the tourney.

In the same vein, Fulham exciting midfielder Adetayo Edun has been summoned by England U19s coach for the double-header with Croatia and Bulgaria next month.

Chelsea loanee Tammy Abraham and Dominic Iorfa who are both on the radar of the Nigerian Federation have been nominated in England’s U21 squad for the Euro qualifiers against Kazakhstan and Bosnia & Herzegovina.
