Swansea striker Abraham rejects Nigeria reports and commits to England

Published on: 21 September 2017

England U21 striker Tammy Abraham has dismissed reports he will commit to play senior international football for Nigeria.

The Chelsea striker, on loan at Swansea, is eligible for the Super Eagles through his father.

Although Abraham does admit to meeting with Nigerian Football Federation president Amaju Pinnick, he has released a statement announcing his commitment to England.

"Contrary to reports in the media today I would like to clarify that I have not agreed to switch my national team allegiance," said Abraham.

"I can confirm I met the President of the NFF after our last game against Tottenham at Wembley on Saturday given he is a friend of my father.

"However, any suggestion that I have made a decision to change my international representation is incorrect and wide of the mark.

"I have informed The FA that I remain available for selection for England."
