A total of twelve players of Nigerian descent have been called up to the England squads, after Three Lions manager Gareth Southgate, U21s manager Aidy Boothroyd and U20s coach Paul Simpson announcing their rosters on Thursday afternoon for international fixtures in March.
Attacking midfielders Dele Alli and Ross Barkley have been selected for the games against Germany and Lithuania.
It appears Chelsea loanee Tammy Abraham has been fully promoted to England U21s squad though he remains eligible to feature for the U20s.
The prolific striker has been included in the squad list for internationals against Germany (March 24) and Denmark (March 27).
Ahead of the Under-20 World Cup in South Korea this summer, manager Simpson will run the rule over Fikayo Tomori (Chelsea), Josh Onomah (Spurs), Ademola Lookman (Everton) and Dominic Solanke (Chelsea).
