Alex Iwobi Reacts to Eberechi Eze Snubbing the Super Eagles for England National Team
Everton forward Alex Iwobi has stated clearly that he tried his best to convince Eberechi Eze to play for the Super Eagles of Nigeria adding that his efforts were only futile.
Eze who plays for Crystal Palace was recently called for England’s coming Euro 2024 qualifiers against Malta and North Macedonia this month.
The 24-year-old has also confirmed that he is looking forward to playing for England, claiming that he has no regrets for not choosing the Super Eagles.
In 2021 NFF Chiefs also tried to convince Eze to switch his allegiance to Nigeria with former President, Amaju Pinnick traveling to England to meet the footballer and his family.
According to reports on Complete Sports and Daily Post, Iwobi disclosed that Eze refused to be convinced of reasons he should play for Nigeria.
“I spoke to Ebere Eze to try and come but then obviously he’s never had the opportunity to come. I wish him all the best with England as well.”
Eze was born in the United Kingdom to Nigerian parents, and he had the chance to either pick the country of his birth or Nigeria.
Meanwhile, Iwobi and his teammates in the Super Eagles are preparing for their next game against Sierra Leone.
