Arsenal Goal Poacher Catches The Attention Of Nigeria U20 Coach Aigbogun
Published: March 21, 2019Folarin Balogun's declaration that he is open to representing Nigeria's national team has caught the attention of Flying Eagles boss Paul Aigbogun, few months before the start of the FIFA U20 World Cup.
However, Aigbogun noted that he has not yet opened a line of communication with the prolific Arsenal striker and his camp as regards switching international allegiance from England to Nigeria.
The Nigeria Football Federation would be racing against the clock to get Balogun's paperwork sorted out if he decides to play for the Flying Eagles at the World Cup which begins in two months time.
"This sounds good coming from him. I know most of the Arsenal players and this is a very talented player to have in any team," Aigbogun told BBC Sport.
"He is a good player, but I have not spoken to him yet."
Watford's Jayden Bennetts and Bournemouth's Nnamdi Ofoborh are the most high profile dual-eligible players to train with Aigbogun's Flying Eagles since the opening of camp.
