Bournemouth star attacker Jordon Ibe has been offered a rare second chance to turn his back on England and play for the Super Eagles of Nigeria at the World Cup.

The London-born winger, who qualifies through his dad, is yet again on the radar of the Nigerian Football Federation (NFF) ahead of the World Cup in Russia.

The 22-year-old Ibe, was initially contacted by the NFF for an initial conversation about his international prospects while a teenager at Liverpool.

The NFF made yet again another contact again shortly after his move from Liverpool to Bournemouth for £15m in 2016.

However, the youngster wanted to fully focus on settling into life under Eddie Howe at the Vitality, but he never closed the door on one day representing Nigeria at senior level.

Ibe has also not ruled out forcing his way into Gareth Southgate’s Three Lions set up.

But Nigeria are offering a more juicy offer that could see him play at the World Cup something that is not too feasible with England, though he has starred for England from Under-18 to Under-21 level.

After a tough first season on the South Coast, Ibe has enjoyed a good run of form recently and starred in the wins against Arsenal, Chelsea and Stoke.
