Leicester’s Ademola Lookman Confirmed to Play for Nigeria by Fifa
Ademola Lookman’s global allegiance switch from England to Nigeria has been formally confirmed by FIFA.
The on-loan Leicester City winger has represented England at U19, U20 and U21 level in the past, being a part of the U20 side that completed World Cup glory in 2017.
Lookman’s possibilities of breaking into the Three Lions fold under Gareth Southgate are very low and he qualifies for Nigeria thanks to his parents. The 24-year-old is back in the Premier League on loan from RB Leipzig and has inspired in a hard season for the Foxes.
Lookman has made 22 appearances in all competitions and scored 5 goals, whilst registering three assists.
