Football’s world governing body, FIFA has approved Leicester striker Ademola Lookman’s nationality switch from England to Nigeria.
Lookman has not represented England’s senior team, but was an Under-19, Under-20, and Under-21 youth international. He was part of the squad that won the Under-20 World Cup in 2017.
He will however now represent Nigeria in international football at the senior level and could make his debut against Ghana in the World Cup play-offs in March.
The 24-year-old is on loan at Leicester from RB Leipzig, having previously played for Everton and Charlton Athletic.
