Eberechi Eze earns first England call-up to dim Nigeria’s hopes

Crystal Palace midfielder, Eberechi Eze, has received yet another senior call-up to the England national team for the upcoming UEFA EURO 2024 qualifiers against Malta and North Macedonia.

The talented midfielder has been linked with playing for the Super Eagles with the immediate past president of the Nigeria Football Federation, Amaju Pinnick, believed to have held extensive talks with Eze.

In 2021, after an invitation to train with the Eagles in London, Pinnick said, “I am confidently hopeful he will play for Nigeria soon.” That prediction looks far-fetched now.
