Kevin Oghenetega Tamaraebi Bakumo-Abraham, known as Tammy Abraham, is sets to dump England to play for Nigeria, as the 19year old weighs his chances of playing at the world cup next year with England.
The Chelsea striker's dream of an early world cup at age 19, could be a reality, though not with England, but with Nigeria, as he was spotted with Mr. Amaju Pinnick who doubles as a friend of the family, and President of Nigeria Football Federation.
The Abraham family were pictured in London with Pinnick, who was optimistic in his quest to convince Tammy to follow in the footstep of the likes of Alex Iwobi, Ola Aina, Chuba, Balogun and the rest, who opted to play for Nigeria.
The Nigerian Football President even went as far as promising a place at the 2018 world cup to the England U21, if Nigeria qualifiers for the FIFA competition.
The Chelsea player who is eligible to play for both England and Nigeria, is a Chelsea player who is currently on loan with Swansea, and also involved in the England U21 side. Though he is yet to make up his mind or give an official statement on this, but while speaking on this new development, Pinnick who has managed to bring in new boys into the Super Eagles, said:
'I had a very honest and productive discussion with Tammy and his father last week,' he said.
...wow the guy na even Waffi....lolt

'It's
been a long process but I can tell you authoritatively that he has
agreed to play for Nigeria and not England. He and his parents have
started the necessary documents to effect the switch.
'Clearly
he understands he stands a better chance playing for the Super Eagles.
With his talent he has the ability to fight for a place in the Nigeria
squad, by God's grace we make it to Russia, then he would contest for a
chance to represent his fatherland.'
