It has always been England and not Nigeria – Tammy Abraham

Swansea City striker, Tammy Abraham, has said that he never considered playing for Nigeria despite being approached by the NFF.
Eligible to play for Nigeria who was born and raised in London, through his parents, but he opted to pledge his allegiance to England.

But after being called up to England’s senior squad for the friendlies against Germany and Brazil, Abraham maintains that there was never any real prospect of him playing for Nigeria.

“I was pretty set on England really, playing in the Premier League meant it would be nice to play in the England team as well.

“It was flattering [that Nigeria wanted me], but for me my main focus was here, Abraham told Sky Sports

“They tried to, but like I said, the main focus was England. I see myself as being a long-term England player — I am 100 percent focused here to try and get into that team.”

Abraham has scored four goals in 10 starts for Swansea this season.
