Austrian soccer officials covet Chelsea player Carney Chukwuemeka. They want him for their national team. They have arguments. Indeed, the 19-year-old midfielder was born in Austria to Nigerian parents. The nationality of his parents also makes him eligible for the Super Eagles team. But still, a third option is available to him: the Three Lions. The player grew up in England and plays for the English youth teams. So England has a clear advantage. This does not temper the covetousness of the Nigerians and Austrians.
Nigeria hopes that history does not repeat itself in the wrong direction. Indeed, they had tried to convince the trio Tammy Abraham, Bukayo Saka and Fikayo Tomori, unfortunately, the latter have all snubbed the country of their parents.
