Strasbourg striker Emanuel Emanha says he has rejected the opportunity to represent the Nigerian senior national team after he was called by the coach of the Eric Chelle team, reports Owngoalnigeria.com.

Born in the Netherlands of a Togolés father and a Nigerian mother, the 22 -year -old who talked openly about this desire to play for Nigeria at age 17 when he made his advance on the Dutch side Sparta Rotterdam confirmed the change of U in his decision.

A 14 goals goal return in 27 games in Ligue 1 for Strasbourg caught the attention of his brother Chelsea club, who is said to be interested in reaching an agreement prior to the contract to join them for the 2026-27 campaign.

As expected, he also opened debate about his international future and in an interview with Ziggo Sports confirmed that Nigeria has announced his decision that he wants to play for the Netherlands, where he is also a youth international.

“I have already been called by Nigeria, but I just want to play for the Netherlands,” said the striker.
