West Ham Wonderkid Ajibola Set To Spark International Tug Of War Between Nigeria & England

Allnigeriasoccer.com understands that the English FA are in pole position to lure the highly-rated West Ham stopper Ajibola Alese to commit his international future to England at senior level rather than Nigeria.

The young central defender is one of the most promising teenagers at West Ham’s Academy, and the English FA have moved fast to cap him for their U15s squad.

Alese, an athletic and strong defender, has been competing for the English youth team at that age category when he first became a teenager, and has captained the squad.

Though he has not featured for West Ham U18s in the U18 Premier League this term, having failed to come off the bench last weekend against Norwich City, he made his debut for the squad in November 2015 against Leicester City U18s.

Ajibola Alese was raised in the United Kingdom but remains eligible to represent Nigeria through his parents.
