The QPR star who was born to Nigerian parents has now been linked with the Super Eagles after taking pictures with the Nigeria Football Federation president Amaju Pinnick last December.

"I don't want to make a rushed decision, as much as it would be a privilege to play for either. It would be a great honour," Eze said on The Beautiful Game podcast.

"I spoke to them. But again, I am just enjoying my football right now and I don't want any added pressure on my mindset.

"I don't want to focus on the wrong things. I want to focus on what has got me to this position, continue doing it and wherever it takes me, it takes me."
