Seriki to represent the Super Eagles?

In a report captured by OwnGoalNigeria, the representative of the versatile defender emphasised that the 22-year-old is determined to represent the Super Eagles rather than England.

The representative further explained that Seriki prefers to focus on his career development before officially committing to international duty with Nigeria.

"He is a Super Eagle through and through, and when the time is right, he will play for Nigeria. For now, he wants to concentrate on growing his club career and helping Sheffield United secure promotion to the Premier League," the representative stated.

These words from Seriki’s camp echo the sentiments of Arsenal forward, Andre Harriman-Annous, who also expressed a desire to represent the Super Eagles over England.

Known for his versatility, Seriki, who can also play as a wing forward, boasts one of the best shot conversion rates in the Championship, according to data from Fotmob.
