Liverpool FC star Jordon Ibe is set to commit his international future to England – despite Nigeria’s attempts to convince him to switch his allegiance.
Jordan Ibe

Super Eagles head coach Sunday Oliseh held talks with the 19-year-old winger at Melwood on Wednesday about his international future.


Bermondsey-born Ibe has represented England at under-18, 19 and 20 level but is eligible to play for the Super Eagles as his dad David is from Nigeria.

However, while flattered by Nigeria’s desire to get him on board, we understood that the talented teenager is still hoping to launch an international career with England.

Ibe is expected to be named in Gareth Southgate’s England Under-21s squad for next month’s matches against USA and Norway.

He could still change his mind until he has played a competitive fixture for the senior side but considering his progress with Liverpool it’s unlikely to be long before Roy Hodgson calls upon him.

Ibe has been Liverpool’s standout performer in pre-season and is expected to start in Sunday’s Premier League opener at Stoke City.

@ OP, Y u go be FTC for ur own thread again na.

Anyways, make dem leave the boy jare. (in ajebo's voice) He is only but a boy.

What the elders see lying down, a child will not see even if he climbs the to the top of an iroko tree.

Make Jordan 'Eyeb' ask Fashanu own market.

Then we wish him good luck...
Let's not make a big deal out of this clown...
Nigeria gat better players...
It's just him been oyibo and playing in the premiership would have made sense...
Frankly I prefer Ross Barkley Effanga

abeg come down to the Nigerian League you will find players that will make him have seaat belt on the bench

Well, he has a choice. And i only hope he made the right choice. Goodluck lil' bro!

No problem. He's gonna end up like agbonlahor, zaha, olisadebe & d likes anyway

Olisadebe actually made a name in Poland. He's worshipped. The same cannot be said about Fashanu and Agbonlahor.

Is he better than the players we have at home?
Nonsense

Have we even honored our past heroes like yekini? Abeg let the boy go play for England I support this.

Nigeria is an unforgiving and forgetful nation when it comes to past accomplishments.
