The defender of Chelsea Tosin Adarabiyio spoke with the new coach of the national senior team of Nigeria Eric Chelle during his visit to England, Owngoalnigeria.com can reveal exclusively.
Chelle, who will be in charge of the team for the first time in March, when they play in the World Cup Classifying Games against Rwanda and Zimbabwe, respectively, leaves no stone without moving in their attempt to put a formidable squad for both games.
The coach for what we gathered exclusively told him at age 27 how he intends to build the team around him and ensure a 2026 World Cup ticket, despite the bad start that the team had before his appointment as a coach.
Tosin, who in the past has rejected the advances to play for Nigeria in favor of England, was impressed with Chelle’s plans, and the fountains say it could be a player who will probably be added to the team for later games, if the March games are too sudden for him.
With the reliable defender Semi Ajayi injured, the reports on Tosin considering the movement to play for Nigeria will be a welcome relief, and will not need to change FIFA, since he did not play any competitive game for England despite representing them at several youth levels.
