Jordon Ibe was given his maiden England
Under-21s cap last month
|
Jordon Ibe has committed
his international future to England, according to Nigeria head coach Sunday
Oliseh. The
19-year-old Liverpool winger received his first England Under-21 call-up
earlier this month.
Roy
Hodgson could promote him to the Three Lions senior squad possibly even as
early as next month, when England play their dead-rubber Euro 2016 qualifiers
against Estonia and Lithuania.
Ibe
qualified to play for Nigeria through his father, who was born in the African
country.
But
Oliseh wrote on Twitter on Sunday: "Jordon Ibe's Family Informed me by a
Telephone call, that He was giving priority to an England call up. We wish them
well"
Hodgson
said of Ibe this month: "People play for the (England) Under-21s because
they want to play for England. If
we do call him up it won't be because we are worried about other nations."
