Chelsea Star Tomori Open To Nigeria Call-Up

By Ibrahim Taiwo on September 24, 2019

Chelsea’s rave of the moment Fikayo Tomori is open to the possibility of playing for Nigeria.

Tomori is eligible to play for England, Canada and Nigeria

The Chelsea Academy Graduate impressed against Liverpool, nullifying the threat of Mohammed Salah.

He was on Monday quoted in the foreign media as saying: “I am a citizen of all three (countries) so we’ll see. I was born in Canada and lived there about seven or eight months old. My family is Nigerian, obviously I live in England.

“It’s nice to have that. I can’t play Under-21 football anymore so the last international break I didn’t get called up to anyone. Next one maybe we’ll see.”

Chelsea coach Frank Lampard has advised Tomori not to be distracted by his international future discussions

Lampard said: ‘It’s his choice. I wouldn’t tell him where to play internationally.

But he’s played for [England] Under-21s and if he continues with his form and keeps improving then of course I would expect there to be potential for England if Gareth chooses to select him.

‘He shouldn’t worry about it at the minute. He should just worry about how he’s playing every game or how he trains every day and that will be a nice problem for him, hopefully, if he’s eligible for three. He can choose which one he wants.’

Tomori played for Derby County in the Championship last season under Frank Lampard and he won the club player of the year award.
