Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) wants to invite Saka

The Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) are looking to tempt Bukayo Saka to snub England and play for the Super Eagles. Saka has had an excellent campaign at Arsenal and recently penned a new long-term contract at the club. The 18-year-old made his Gunners first-team debut under former head coach Unai Emery.

He has reportedly caught the attention of England manager Gareth Southgate with his displays for Arsenal. Saka has represented England at youth level but is still undecided on the country he will play for at the senior level. Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) has made it clear that they are willing to approach the player to play for Nigeria.

According to reports, the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) are prepared to offer Saka an invitation to play for the Super Eagles ahead of England, but that will be if the player shows any interest to play Nigeria like the likes of Victor Moses and Alex Iwobi. The versatile winger currently plays England U- 19 side and is in line for promotion to the U-21s

The NFF has previously been successful in getting English players born to Nigerian parents to switch their allegiance to play for Super Eagles with Alex Iwobi, Ola Aina, and Victor Moses having chosen to represent the three-time African champions
