Nigerian-born forward George Ilenikhena has reportedly chosen to represent the Super Eagles ahead of France after holding talks with Nigeria head coach Eric Chelle.
The highly-rated striker, who is eligible to play for both Nigeria and France, is said to have made the decision following discussions with Chelle, who reportedly shared his plans for the young forward's role in the national team.
Ilenikhena is regarded as one of the brightest young talents in European football, and his reported commitment is expected to strengthen the Super Eagles as they continue to build a competitive squad for future international tournaments.
Although neither the Nigeria Football Federation nor the player has made an official announcement, multiple reports indicate that Ilenikhena has decided to commit his international future to Nigeria.
