Ademola Lookman, a winger for Atalanta, maintains that his choice to play for Nigeria rather than England was the right one.

Lookman, who played for England at the youth level, was born in Wandsworth, South West London, to Nigerian athletes.

The England U-20 squad that won the 2017 FIFA U-20 World Cup included the dynamic winger.

Lookman advanced to the U-21 squad as well, where he played in 11 games and scored one goal.

Before deciding to accept the change of nationality, the 25-year-old passed down three opportunities to play for the Super Eagles.

On February 10, 2022, the Federation of International Football Association (FIFA) approved his request to represent the Super Eagles.

“I have no regrets, I took the right decision. This is my career,”he told L’Eco di Bergamo.

“I want to play for Nigeria and am proud of this. I was born in England, but my family is from Nigeria and I have a strong bond with both countries.”

Lookman has one goal and six appearances to his belt with the Super Eagles.
