NFF Target Eberechi Eze Receives First Call-Up To England U21 Squad

NFF Target Eberechi Eze Receives First Call-Up To England U21 Squad

3rd September 2019 • Nigeria Premier League

Queens Park Rangers attacking midfielder Eberechi Eze has received a late call-up to England U21 team who are currently preparing for their 2021 UEFA European U21 Championship qualifiers against Turkey and Kosovo respectively.

The youngster was first ignored by  Aidy Boothroyd while unveiling his squad for the encounters but the manager was forced to extend an invitation to the midfielder due to injuries picked up by Arsenal youngster Joe Willock and Dwight McNeil.
 
Eze made his debut for the European powerhouse against Italy U20 last year and he went on to feature  in six more matches for the team.

West Brom loanee Grady Diangana was also handed a late call-up to Aidy Boothroyd's team.

Both players will hope to make a huge statement if given the chance to feature in the games scheduled to take place on Friday September 6, and Monday 9th respectively.

This will come as a sad news to Super Eagles fans who have so much desire to see the youngster represent Nigeria in the nearest future.
