Chelsea Wonderkid Dominic Solanke To Make Nigeria Debut Against Senegal, Claims NFF

Chelsea striker Dominic Solanke could make his international debut for the Super Eagles when they lock horns with Senegal in March, according to reports.

The Guardian Nigeria, citing an unnamed source at the Nigeria Football Federation, has sensationally CLAIMED that Solanke is in line for a shock call-up to Gernot Rohr’s side during the next international break.

Allnigeriasoccer.com understands that individuals close to the Sports Ministry and NFF earlier approached the Blues wonderkid to turn out for Nigeria rather than England, but he snubbed their overtures as he fancies his chances with the Three Lions.

Born in Reading 19 years ago, Solanke has played for the U16, U17, U18, U19 and U21 national teams of England, but can still represent the Super Eagles if the grandfather rule is invoked since he has not played competitively for the English senior team.

The newspaper has also claimed that Jordon Ibe, Kelvin Akpoguma, Chuba Akpom, Karim Onisowo and Ola Aina will be called up for the international friendly.
