England U21 winger Ademola Lookman is open to the idea of switching his international allegiance to play for Nigeria, National Daily learnt.
The Nigeria Football Federation have approached Lookman about the possibility, with the 21-year-old, who was born in south London, qualifying to play for the Super Eagles through his parents.
Lookman recently completed a £16m move to RB Leipzig from Everton after making 36 Premier League appearances for the Toffees and starting his career at Charlton.
He spent the second half of the 2017-18 season on loan at Leipzig, impressing with five goals in 11 games, and made a permanent move to Germany this summer by penning a five-year contract with the Bundesliga side.
Lookman has been capped by the three Lions at U19, U20 and U21 level and would follow in the footsteps of Victor Moses, Ola Aina and Alex Iwobi etc who all represented England at youth levels before playing for the senior Nigeria side.
