Even if Harry Kane is not in form, Tammy can not replace him... at least after 10 years

NFF pursuing this guy because he plays for Chelsea. Because of his experience? Oh experience indeed. We don't have sense in this country, I swear. angry He'll be a fool to choose a shiiithole country like Nigeria over England.

Don't generalize everyone here, just says you don't have sense simple ( no offense). And besides,the likes of victor Moses, iwobi were also persuaded by NFF to play for Nigeria at international level and they all delivered.. Currently we don't have outstanding striker and for this young guy to have 7 goals to his tally in a competitive league as premiership, he's a big fish for Nigeria..

As much as I want him to play for Nigeria
He's trying to Weigh his Option
And the only threat he has at the moment is Harry Kane and maybe Callum Wilson
Others ain't C.FORWARDS and some people be shouting Osimhen up their grin
He plays in league where they know the league winner before the season commences.
Arsenal's Nicolas Pepe flourished on goals there
But look at him struggling to score one in England.
Truth be told, we can't compare Abraham with Osimhen grin Gun no be broom mate
Keep Abraham and Osimhen for me, as a Madrid fan
I'd pick ABRAHAM even most of you shouting Osimhen would go with Abraham
Some of u haven't even checked Osimhen's Ballwork out.
Leave the Team Hatred and let's be realistic, this is our country


Super Eagles keep soaring high

It is not rocket science.

His first priority now will be to use his current form for Chelsea FC to boost his worth as a striker.

His second priority will be to study the current Three Lions to see if he has a chance of displacing Harry Kane, Raheem Sterling and Marcus Rashford for first team place. Given the age and experience of these players, it might be difficult to break in. And once he shows up for England, then he has sealed international football fate.

His third priority will be to play for Nigeria where he is most likely to give Victor Osinhem, Paul Onuachu and Henry Onyekuru a run for their money.

However, the truth is that where he decides to pitch his international tent is completely his headache. With or without Tammy Abraham, Super Eagles will continue to fly high.

You better switch


Kane-Vardy- Rashford see your contenders

Na, I disagree. If he finishes the season with 25 goals and Rashford has his "I'm still young 10 goals season", the narrative will change and this dude will be the hottest property in English football.
Remember when it was Rooney before anyone else and then gast forward couple of years and Rooney couldn't even make the team even though he still wanted to play.

It'll be nice to see him play for his fatherland but the reality is anything of quality that associates too much with Nigeria loses value.

NFF or whoever is involved should stop embarrassing themselves on this boy's matter. The guy is more English than Nigerian for crying out loud. You know how many players Senegal and Mali lose to France daily?. And to be fair with those "foreign" guys, it's not easy to grow up at a country and all of sudden, another faraway country is calling you to come and play for them just because your parents are from there. It is very complex and it always require extra effort on the player's part.
Players who were born and bred in this part of the world don't usually have much wahala when it comes to pledging allegiance to their country of birth. That is why you see the likes of Mane, Sallah, Etoo, Drogba, Mahrez, Yaya Toure, Onana playing for their country of birth (Despite great successes in Europe). They simply grew up in Africa and most of their relatives (including parents) still live in those African countries.
What are we doing to develop young talents from this part of the world?. How are we making sure boys are getting opportunities to attend those top football academies in Europe.
Take Adrea Onana of Ajax and Cameroon for example. He was among those boys that Samuel Eto'o took to Barcelona's academy. Now he is Ajax's first choice goal keeper and he is easily playing for Cameroon.
Bottom line is that any half- Nigerian, half European player who wants to play for us is welcome but we should not make them see it as if they are doing us a favour.

Re: Tammy Abraham Hints At Switching Allegiance To Nigeria by Ijeleigbo(m): 3:48pm On Sep 16, 2019
The only rival Tammy has at the moment is Kane. South gate plays rashford and sterling at the wings and according to current form, Tammy is better than vardy. Kane gets injured a lot and besides if Tammy keeps scoring, south gate will definitely give him a shot even if it means bringing him on second half.
Tammy has a chance to break into the English first team and he knows it that is why he wants to first of all concentrate on scoring loads of goals for Chelsea and with a manager like lamps, he will only get better

Updatebaze:
In-form Chelsea striker Tammy Abraham has given Super Eagles a major boost by refusing to rule out switching his allegiance to Nigeria.

The 21-year-old who was born in the UK to Nigerian parents is currently the joint-leading scorer with Sergio Aguero in the Premier League, So far, the pair have seven goals each.

Despite representing England at Under 18, Under 19 and Under 21 levels Tammy is still eligible to play for the three-time African champions, through his Nigerian parents.

Speaking on the situation, Abraham told Goal: ‘Yes, I have heard the talk. I have not really been focused on that yet.

‘I think when the time comes, the times comes. It is about focusing on Chelsea and hopefully scoring goals and getting victories.

‘We never know. You can never say never, whatever comes first really. I just have to keep full focus on Chelsea.

My guy Tammy,please focus on Chelsea and play for England when you are called to do so.Before you pick Nigeria first look at the likes of Victor Moses and other super Eagles that had to resign from the super Eagles team at an early age.Nigeria has little or no regards for her citizens.Be warned.

Whether he plays for the 3 lions or the super eagles, his future on current form is very bright. I just wish he doesn't get carried away with the hyping media, or worst still, lose his scoring touch.
