Nigeria's Super Eagles should have paraded some of football's best young players at the time they chose to represent Nigeria at international level, but they refused to play for Nigeria at a high level and chose to play for other national teams. In this article, we will take a look at some of the Nigerian-born players who refused to play for the super eagles.
1. Bukayo Saka:
The first player on the list is Arsenal youngster Bukayo Saka. The explosive winger was born to Nigerian parents but decided to represent England at a senior level after playing for them at youth level.
2. Jamal Musiala:
A young player from Bayern Munich, Musiala is another player on the list. Musiala, whose father is of Nigerian descent, may have chosen to play for Nigeria but like other players, he decided to play for Germany despite the approach of former Super Eagles coach Gernot Rohr.
3. Karim Adeyemi:
like Musiala, Karim Adeyemi chose Germany over Nigeria when he could have played for the Super Eagles. Adeyemi, who currently plays for Borussia Dortmund, has a Romanian mother and a Nigerian father. He made his debut for Germany in a World Cup qualifier against Armenia on 5 September 2021.
4. Samuel Adekugbe:
the Canadian international was born to Nigerian parents but decided to represent Canada at the senior level instead of the Super Eagles. He's already made a number of appearances for the Canadian national team and is likely to play more until he hangs up his boots. 5. Noah Okafor:
Switzerland international Noah Okafor was born to a Nigerian father and a Swiss mother. He made his senior European debut in 2019. Noah Okafor may have chosen to play for Nigeria but like everyone else, he decided to play for the Swiss national team.
