Lookman Joins The Super Eagles: Who Could Follow In His Footsteps? by Enenim(m): 10:05am On Feb 11, 2022
Who could follow in the Nigeria new boy's footsteps to dump England for the West African giants?

Ademola Lookman
Nigeria are already stocked in wide areas, but after chasing Lookman for several years, they’ll surely find a way to include the forward into their plans after his nationality switch was granted by Fifa.

Currently back in England with Leicester City, after struggling at the likes of Fulham, Leipzig and Everton in recent years, the 24-year-old has scored three Premier League goals so far this season.

Eberechi Eze
His current season has been affected by injury, with Eze currently playing only 134 minutes in the Premier League for Crystal Palace.

Nonetheless, he proved his class in the Championship with Queens Park Rangers in the 2019-20 season—having a hand in 22 goals—and impressed in patches last term in his maiden season in the top flight.

Michael Olise
Still only 20, Olise is in the midst of his debut season in the Premier League after following in Eze’s footsteps by swapping the Championship for Palace during the summer.

Last season he was outstanding in the second tier, catching the eye with his dribbling and having a hand in 19 goals during the campaign.

He’s made an encouraging beginning to life in the Prem—registering four assists and scoring twice despite making only five starts so far—and looks set for a bright future at the pinnacle of the game.

Born in London, he’s represented France at U-18 level.

Dominic Solanke
Already capped once by England, Solanke remains eligible to switch to the Super Eagles should the NFF convince him to commit to the Super Eagles.

While he struggled to make his mark in the Premier League with Chelsea, Liverpool or Bournemouth, he’s excelled in the second tier this term, and has currently bagged 19 goals as they look to return to the top flight.

Shola Shoretire
A livewire on the right side for Manchester United, Shoretire has currently represented England at various youth levels up to U-19.

He made his first team debut for the Red Devils in February 2021, soon after turning 17, and became the youngest player to represent the club in European competition when he replaced Mason Greenwood against Real Sociedad in the Europa League last season.
