ADO Den Haag defender Tyronne Ebuehi has said his decision to play for Nigeria and not Holland will boost his promising career.
Right back Ebuehi has won two caps in friendlies against Corsica and Togo for his father’s native country and he is now in the frame to make his official debut against South Africa on Saturday in Uyo.
He also had the option to play for Holland, where his mother hails from and where he was born.
“The opportunity to play for Nigeria is a big step in my career. I am just 21 years old, I have just started,” he said in an interview with the official website of the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF).
“For sure, 100%, it was the best step to take.
“It’s something new being an international, something every player dreams of.
“I’m just blessed and really happy to be a part of the team.”
He further revealed that Eagles defender William Troost-Ekong, who could also have opted for Holland ahead of Nigeria, helped him to decide on his international career.
“William (Troost-Ekong) convinced me to come and play for Nigeria, he told me a lot of positives about the country and the team,” he revealed.
