Ross Berkley Of Everton Could Play For Super Eagles by Kcwarren: 8:36am On Feb 20, 2013 |
Victor Anichebe could also have played for England but the striker, who has recently become a first-team regular at European hopefuls Everton, always maintained he was Nigerian and played for their under-23 side and has also made 11 caps for the country of his birth since his debut in 2008. Yet he is not the only Everton reared talent who can play for Nigeria as their current shining star Ross Barkley is also part Nigerian. It is obviously a slightly surprising fact to discover, in the same way that Chris Birchall playing for Trinidad and Tobago was, but he confirmed it himself on Everton’s official website: Interviewer: ‘’Which national teams are you eligible for?’’ ‘Barkley: ’England and Nigeria’’ Barkley has recently been released from a loan-spell at Leeds United but his previous form at Sheffield Wednesday was highly impressive and he is still considered one of the top talents in the English game. He has helped England win the 2010 under-17 Euros and has made four appearances for the under-21 side. He has not spoken of a desire to play for Nigeria but off the back of recent success the side will be looking out for young talent to come through and sustain that development for years to come. It could be that Ross Barkley becomes a Super Eagle rather than an English Lion. Should Ross Barkley play for Nigeria or wait to see if he makes the grade for England? |

I hope Keshi invites Ross Berkley, Jordan Obita(Reading on loan at Oldham), Carl Ikeme(Wolves), Sergio Uyi(Torino Fc, italy) Hope Akpan, Leon Balogun, Sidney Sam and the likes to the Super Eagles. We performed well at the Nations Cup beacuse we paraded a relatively young team. Football like any other sports is game of age. |
