UEFA Nations League 2022: How Many Players Of Nigerian Descent Are Playing?! by Rotji(m): 3:21pm On Jun 12, 2022 |
The ongoing EUFA Nation's League is getting more and more interesting with the unpredictable results being witnessed even among the top football nations. What has rather got my attention is the high number of Nigerians or players of Nigerian descent playing for and representing other European countries. So far, the England football team has three (3) Nigerians being featured. Germany also has three Nigerians playing. Danjuma Arnault is supposed to be playing for the Netherlands but I haven't seen him on their team list yet. Below are Countries with Nigerian players or players of Nigerian descent playing for them, leading are England and Germany with 3 Nigerians each. Please if you have noticed others I have not captured kindly add to this list. Thanks A. England 1. Bukayo Saka 2. Tammy Abraham 3. Fikayo Tomori B. Germany 1. Lucas Nmecha 2. Karim Adeyemi 3. Jamal Musiala C. Austria 1. David Alaba (he is the Austrian national team Captain) 2. Karim Onisiwo D. Republic of Ireland 1. Michael Obafemi (was on fire yesterday, scored 1 and provided 1 assist I their 3:0 win over Scotland Please add more |

Modes, @lalasticlala please kindly help push this to Front page.. Let's see how Nigeria is loosing out players to European countries. Imagine how strong the Super Eagles will be if all or most of these players are in the Eagles |

Mryacks:I lost hope in that guy playing for us a very long time before he made the decision to play for Germany. Imagine being that good, playing for a team like Bayern, eligible to play for Germany, England or Nigeria, you then go on and choose Nigeria 1 Like |

Rotji:It's a matter of choice. Most of them grew up there. So can't really force them to play for you. Even Brazil have a lot players playing elsewhere. e.g Diego Costa Mauricio Viana Pepe Thiago Motta Marcos Gonzalez Thiago Alcantara. etc |
