Bukayo Saka, an Arsenal and England international who is about to wrap up his tour to Nigeria, has stated that he was on the verge of playing for Nigeria before England.
Saka is now on vacation in Lagos, Nigeria, after spending the Christmas season in England. He has been enjoying himself while also giving back by visiting many orphanages.
The 21-year-old was questioned by a member of the organization's staff at one of the orphanages he visited about his decision to choose the English national team over the senior national team of Nigeria.
‘I will tell you this. I was very close to playing for one of the youth teams in 2019. It was the wish of my father but things happen and you have to live with your decisions. I feel very much Nigerian and nothing can change that,’ he told OwnGoalNigeria.com.
