Bournemouth star Philip Billing is considering switching his international allegiance to Nigeria after he was omitted from Denmark's 26-man roster for the upcoming European Championship. Manager Kasper Hjulmand has named seven midfielders in the squad list, picking Christian Eriksen (Inter Milan), Thomas Delaney (Borussia Dortmund), Pierre-Emile Højbjerg (Tottenham), Daniel Wass (Valencia), Mathias Jensen (Brentford), Anders Christiansen (Malmo) and Christian Nørgaard (Brentford) ahead of Billing. Billing has played only one match for Denmark's senior team, a friendly against Faroe Islands in October 2020 when he was in action for 72 minutes and before then made thirteen appearances combined for Denmark U19 and U21 teams. The 24-year-old central midfielder , who is a player of interest to Super Eagles coach Gernot Rohr, previously stated that it will be strange to represent Nigeria as he feels one hundred percent Danish but is now reconsidering the decision. Speaking to BT, Billing explained : "My father is from Nigeria, so I have thought about it, and I know that Nigeria would very much like me. "I have talked to the coach several times, so it is something I have thought about more after I have not been selected for the European Championships. "There will also soon be a World Cup that I will have to think about. I am almost 25 years old and I have only played one international match. I also have something I would like to achieve in my career." Billing impressed for Bournemouth in the 2020-2021 campaign, scoring eight goals and providing four assists in 34 appearances in the Championship. |

Even if Phillip Anyawu Billing becomes a balon dor contender tomorrow as a matter of principle we must not invite him. Doing this will help further enhance the super eagles brand and accord it the respect it deserves. Even as an ordinary bottom of the table premier League player he disowned us in front of the media because everyone was giving him hype. Fast forward 3 years and reality has slapped him in the face, he is now a 25 year old championship player with no premier League or international options he now has amnesia and remembers his dad is from Nigeria. I agree with him his dad is from Nigeria no doubt but he is from Denmark. Rohr and Pinnick must respect themselves! 15 Likes |

charlesemeka85: Billing, 23, was snapped up by the Cherries in a £15-million transfer after he suffered relegation with Huddersfield at the end of the 2018/19 season. Scroll through the gallery above to see 5 recent players Rohr has convinced to represent Nigeria However, in his third season in the English top-flight, the technically gifted central midfielder has developed into an established performer under manager Eddie Howe. As a result, Rohr has come knocking for the Super Eagles for a second occasion, with Billing yet to make his senior national team debut despite earning a maiden call-up in March last year. But the powerful midfielder claims it would be awkward for him to turn his back on Kasper Hjulmand's side to represent the country of his fathers' birth. "I saw the last time people started to speculate that I didn't mind playing for Denmark and blah, blah, blah," he told Danish news outlet BT. "It would be strange to stand up for Nigeria when I feel 100 percent Danish. Of course, I have Nigerian roots and am half Nigerian, but I was raised and born in Denmark. "I have a Danish mother, Danish little brother and Danish little sister and a Nigerian father. But this is Denmark I want to stand for. That's my big dream. "I've talked to the coach, but I know where I want to play. I want to play for Denmark, so it is no longer than that. "He [Rohr] just said he really wanted me to play for Nigeria because the upcoming World Cup and Africa Cup of Nations will be played soon. I made it pretty clear to him that I wanted to play for Denmark. That's my big dream." Billing has featured 29 times for the South Coast outfit this season, scoring three goals and registering a solitary assist.

Subzero047: Lazy attitude?? nah nah it like you've not have been watching him lately billing is a very technical player he is left footed and moreover a very good setpiece taker he has scored very superb freekicks goal for Huddersfield and also it not every player that cover miles in the field like kante...billing is good at what he does.he will be a very good backup for ndidi at least we will be having competition in that department...nah small we go dey complete... hopefully the likes of Jordan and ehzibue comes in later but at least with billing the Dmf position is sealed. |

charlesemeka85: His real Papa, they should not listen to him after what he said previously. I heard this on Brilla this morning and I quickly rushed here to see the reaction. I remember that year he rejected Nigeria. This article didn't do justice to what he said word for word. He magnified himself like some world class European midfielder that Nigeria doesn't deserve, when he is not even close to Ndidi's level that year not to talk of now. His real Papa again. 3 Likes |

I brought him back from Finland since last year naa. Since then he has been careful to not get catapulted there again. And now Billing, the reason TheGoodJoe got sent to Finland in the first place for being "Finnish(ed)" by his (Billing's) well documented rejection of Nigeria after we approached him is back saying stuffs thinking Nigerians have amnesia ba? He needs to be hemispherectomised. Rubbish! damagnificentusb: 4 Likes 2 Shares |

smartsmith0907: Story. The ship has sailed. And you speak about watching Billing "lately" and you then time travel all the way back to Huddersfield. Abeg, how recently did Billing score a free kick goal? because he didn't bag any in the just concluded season for Bournemouth and yep, I watched some of his games too. Also, his records with Huddersfield from recent seasons in the PL (17/18, 18/19 and 19/20 seasons) show that he didn't bag any free kick goal. Even in 2016/17 with Huddersfield in the Championship, he didn't score any Free kick. Absolute zero stats on that. So where in the hell are you getting this info from? Abi you just wanna hype up the lad abi. I remember this was how you typed here about Michael Olise that we should be expecting regular Free kick goals when he comes. And that was misleading again because Olise also didn't bag a free kick goal out of the 17 attempts he had in 20/21 season in the Championship. Note, I like Olise and I have analysed here how he is the answer to our #10 role but the FK info was wrong. He has made attempts and could grow into a regular FK scorer but for now, he isn't. He hasn't bagged one yet. Also, Billing's Interceptions stats from this season is poor for a CDM. He made 0.6 interceptions per game in 20/21. His tackle rate is 1.2 per game. Compare this to guys like Obinna Nwobodo (interceptions of 1.6 per game & Tackles of 3.6 per game) and Kelechi Nwakali (Interceptions of 1.4 per game and tackles of 1.5 per game) and you will see Billing isn't even the guy we need putting aside his double faced idiocy. So in conclusion, We don't need Billing. And I trust that Rohr won't waste time with this double faced liar. This will be his fate below when Denmark and Nigeria will be playing at this Euros and next year's Afcon respectively. Rubbish and Billing!!!! Mtcheeeww 10 Likes 1 Share

Subzero047: We don’t want ? Who is we ,Do you work with rohr and the nff ? As much as I am not a fan of him I will tell you they dude will easily play for Nigeria if he is serious even if it’s to make our bench ,we don’t want as if shehu abdulahi is any better 36 games 8 goals 4 assist in the championship as a midfielder is not bad ,and you say he is not good again ,he even scored more than Michael Olise that’s an attacking midfielder if I am not mistaken What’s your definition of someone not good enough ? Billing should have easily make the Denmark squad because he is better than those 2 guys from Brentford and The other 1 from malmo ,but Na coach no Dey reason am No Cap |

Indeed it is so. Ehizibue is not about to give up his Dutch passport unless they (the Dutch) alter the rules to enable him keep both his Dutch and new Naija passport. Until that happens, Ehizibue won't be coming. His dutch passport helps him stay out of the Non-EU quota for European sides among other benefits so he won't be giving that up soon. Moniter0: 2 Likes |
