Super Eagles: Blackburn Rovers striker chooses Nigeria over England - Daily Post Nigeria

Dapo Afolayan, Blackburn Rovers forward, has expressed his strong desire to play for Nigeria, stating it remains one of his top goals. He previously visited the Super Eagles at their team hotel during the 2025 Unity Cup in London and has come close to receiving a call-up. Afolayan, born in London and having represented England’s C team, is eligible to play for Nigeria and hopes to do so despite his prior non-selection due to limited playing time in Bundesliga. His recent outstanding form in the Championship, with four goals in two matches, has garnered attention and a nomination for the Player of the Month award.
