Nigeria want Arsenal youngster to play for them, not England

In Nigeria they are clear that Bukayo Saka should play for their national team. He is just 18, but Arsenal have even given him a first team shirt number for next season. 

At the moment, Saka is playing for England Under 19s. Until he makes his senior debut, the 'Daily Mail' reports that the Nigerian Federation will keep on trying to persuade the footballer. 

As a result, they are apparently going to call him up for the Nigerian national team now. In fact, for the same reason, the England coach, Gareth Southgate, could include Saka in his next squad list as well as Phil Foden and Mason Greenwood. 

His progression is outstanding and Arsenal have already announced that Saka will wear the number 7 shirt next season and that he will be given a long term contract.
