The midfielder has chosen to play for the Three Lions instead of the Super Eagles, according to the Nigeria coach The debate over Jordon Ibe’s international future has come to an end after Nigeria coach, Sunday Oliseh, said the midfielder has chosen England.

In a tweet on Sunday, Oliseh said the player’s family has informed him of the decision. “Jordon Ibe's Family Informed me by a Telephone call, that He was giving priority to an England call up.We wish them well,” Oliseh wrote.

Ibe, born in London to a Nigerian father, was still eligible to represent the Super Eagles after playing for England at youth level.The Liverpool man has impressed a lot of watchers since last season when he broke into the Reds’ first team.

However, England coach Roy Hodgson has said he won’t simply hand the lad a senior debut in order to deny Nigeria the opportunity of having him, as he would need to show he was worthy of a call up. “My attitude for this is quite clear - I want players who want to play for England. I am not going to start making players English by giving them a few minutes in games, ” Hodgson was quoted by the Daily Mail.
“I want Jordon to fight for his place in the team like everybody else. He is certainly a player we like very much and certainly a player we have eyes on.“It's far from impossible that he gets called up in one of the next games. But if we do call him up it won't be because we are worried about other nations,” he said.
