The Nigeria Football Federation have been handed a boost in their pursuit of Crystal Palace star Eberechi Eze after his omission from the latest England roster announced by the English Football Association on Tuesday afternoon, allnigeriasoccer.com reports.

Speculation was rife that the Eagles attacking midfielder was in serious contention to earn his first call-up to the Three Lion after his strong finish to the 2021-2022 season.

And those rumours were fueled when manager Gareth Southgate was spotted at Goodison Park during Crystal Palace's 3-2 loss to Everton on Thursday, May 19.

Eze gave a good account of himself in front of the watching Southgate, setting up the opening goal netted by Jean-Philippe Mateta.

England summer fixtures will see them facing Hungary twice, Germany and Italy across ten days in the UEFA Nations League A group and Eze would have become cap-tied to his country of birth assuming he was invited and given minutes in any of the four matches.

Eze, who was invited to train with the Super Eagles in 2017, played non-binding games for England U20s before becoming provisionally cap-tied to his country of birth at U21 level.

Nigeria Football Federation boss Amaju Pinnick has held discussions with the former Queens Park Rangers dazzler over switching his international allegiance and turning out for the Nigeria national team but the player requested to be given time to make his decision, claiming he wants to focus on his club career.

He won't play for us again.. D world cup appearance could av been a serious bait to lure him ,unfortunately we didn't make it.he would rada wait for england opportunity for Years hoping he would rep dem in d nearest future Dan to play for us..at d moment,we don't av anything interesting to lure top foreign born players to our ranks

JohnBullMySon:
Lmao, who carries out threats

I'm talking about how we insult and demean our own players. Some people are still insulting Yak till today. Look at how much Ighalo took that made him leave the National team for a while.

We're not the most fanatical fans, but we're one of the most toxic and insultive fans. You'll hardly see somewhere in the world where people insult their own team players like Nigeria. South Africa comes second. We take losses too emotionally, spitting BS everywhere.

man....mind your words please. You can't just conjure a baseless conclusion rom the corner of your room and start sprouting it here. Try to differentiate between a meme and a real violence here. You're not the only serious person here.

drDoom3:
Balogun is better than Omeruo.

Bassey benches Balogun for club.

Awaziem is good but a journeyman. I can’t rate him until he becomes relevant in Europe. Similar to Awoniyi pre-Union, abundant talent but needs to settle and prove himself.

Bassey starts over all our CBs today. I can’t remember any CB we have had in recent years that is consistently performing at such a high level.

Stormtrooper11:
Why are you explaining to him, Comrade?!

andrewbaba44:
Lol ,look at who is talking about emotions here ,we can already see through you from your epistle

Gundogan is not an AM or even playing there ,no need to use gundogan go make cheap lies ,gundogan plays as a CM or DM but you want him to score many goals as if grealish use to score more than him

De Bruyne is better than all overrated English midfielders since he step his foot on the epl

Gundogan scored 13 goals last season which was among his first 5 season

I am sure you would have said luiz diaz won’t get into Fulham team but look at how the guy is doing so well at Liverpool

Below is some little proof to show you thay gundogan always play as a CM

JohnBullMySon:
As dey refuse to play you now call them "ekuke". Osimhen and Iheanacho also pulled out too. What will you call them?

See, we must learn to be less brutal as a people. Not every player is mentally strong to take a shit load of criticism without counter support from fans as well. Playing for Nigeria is now becoming a scary thing because of over emotional fans without self control. You hardly see fans around the world heavily criticize their own players. The worst thing you'll hear them calling on the coach to bench him. But in Nigeria, we insult our players down to their underwears.

With time, players become either non-chalant or might refuse to play entirely. Many of these players are already devastated as a result of mistakes and we add our own on it. I remember the rubbish some prominent people online were typing after our losses to Tunisia and Ghana, because they were angry. These days I get scared for the kind of criticism a Nigerian player will collect if we lose than we actually losing.

Look, karma or whatever, doesn't exist. That players pull out doesn't mean that God will find a replacement to punish them. A player can pull out and you'll never see an equal replacement in 30 years.

well, I wouldn't write that off.... Klopp is too playful though his age no go let him do some things sha....

forgiveness:
Bassey never benched Balogun for club rather Bassey plays the CB role when Balogun is out due to injury.

Stop peddling false information

Moreover, Omeruo has been far more better Balogun in green white green.

Danielnino00:
Just how exactly did you arrive at that conclusion about us being one of the most toxic fan base? Do you frequent football forums of other countries?
Being insultive to players is a norm everywhere..it's part of football..Any player that isn't ready to take criticism isn't ready...

Use Iwobi as a case study...with all the criticism he receive almost every week from Arsenal, Everton and Nigerian fans, it hasn't stopped him from playing football.....

I know what I'm saying. How many players have had their social media pages invaded because of a loss?

zuchyblink:
Maduka and uzoho will lose their place in the SE by the time they return

to who?

AndSunGorilla:
Oloye Agba, bassey started benching Balo later on sir. This actually happened after Balo made an error that led to a goal,if you recall Balo was on the bench in the Europa final while Bassey played in the CB position all through sir. Thank you gan sir, baba agba, respect o.

forgiveness:
Why didn't he bench him 3 days after the Europa final to play 120 minutes in the Scottish cup final?

The first time I heard this, I went to research and discovered that at that time Balogun was out due to injury and when he came back, he walked into starting 11.

Besides, the coach rotates players.
