By Boluwatife Ezekiel Olaleye
Nigeria has approached Bournemouth winger Jordon Ibe.
National Daily reports Ibe has been offered the chance to turn his back on England and play for Nigeria at the World Cup.
The London-born winger, who qualifies through his dad, is being eyed by the Super Eagles ahead of the big kick-off in Russia.
