Arsenal Super Kid Thinking About Choosing Between Nigeria And England
Published: December 23, 2019
Arsenal winger Bukayo Saka has suggested that he's undecided about his international future as none of England or Nigeria have approached him over pledging his allegiance.
Saka is of Nigerian descent but despite his parents originally coming from Nigeria, he has represented England at the youth levels.
The winger who was recently made to play at the left back position due to injuries to Sead Kolašinac and Kieran Tierney, told the BBC that he thinks about the dilemma of choosing England and Nigeria
"I'm always thinking about it (choosing between Nigeria and England) but I haven't made a decision yet," Saka told
BBC Sport
"No-one has been in touch but when I make a decision you will find out," Saka who reportedly wants to be called a Nigerian stressed.
Saka made his Premier League debut for the Gunners in January 2017 against Fulham and could have an extended run in the first team due to injuries to the regular left backs.
The Hale End Academy graduate commended former Arsenal head coach Unai Emery for the impact he has had on his Arsenal career.
"I have a lot of thanks to give him because he gave me so much confidence, he gave me my debut and he kept pushing me. I am grateful to him always," Saka posited.
"It's just something I have always dreamed of, coming up from the academy to the first team.
Saka has scored two goals and assisted five in 15 appearances across all competitions this season.
