Nigeria Target Dominic Iorfa Part Of England Squad For Toulon Tournament

Dominic Iorfa has been named in the England U21s squad for the Toulon Tournament that will take place in France from 18-29 May 2016.

The Wolverhampton Wanderers defender is the only player of Nigerian descent that made Gareth Southgate’s 20-man roster, with the likes of Jordon Ibe (Liverpool), Chuba Akpom (Arsenal), Ola Aina (Chelsea) and Dominic Solanke (Vitesse Arnhem) all missing out.

Iorfa will be hoping to add to the five caps that he has earned for the England U21s during the competition that will see the Young Lions take on Portugal, Guinea, Paraguay and Japan in the group matches.

Born in Southend-on-Sea, England, the fullback represented England at U18 and U20 level before he was promoted to the U21s in 2015.

It has been reported that the Nigeria Football Federation has made contact with Dominic Iorfa regarding the youngster committing his international future to the Super Eagles ahead of the Three Lions.
