Ademola Lookman the Nigerian forward who recently guided Atalanta to their first Europa League title, has spoken about his choice to represent Nigeria over England at the international level.
Lookman firmly stated he has no regrets about his decision, saying, "I have no regrets, I took the right decision. This is my career."
Lookman, born in London to Nigerian parents, initially played for England's youth teams before switching his allegiance to Nigeria in 2022. Despite some criticism, he remains proud of his Nigerian heritage and decision to play for the Super Eagles.
"I always want to play for Nigeria and I'm proud of this," he said. "I was born in England, but my family is from Nigeria and I have a strong bond with both countries."
Lookman's dedication to Nigeria has been rewarding. He played a pivotal role in the team's journey to the 2023 Africa Cup of Nations final and has secured a regular position in the Super Eagles lineup, becoming a favorite among Nigerian football fans.
