Ogenetega Tamaraebi Abraham is an England born Chelsea young star. The 19 year old Tammy presently on loan to Swansea has a Nigerian father. Presently an England under 21 international, is eligible to represent Nigeria at the senior level like Iwobi and Balogun.
What's the implications for his career should he decide to play for the Three Lions rather than the Super Eagles?
He is a promising centre forward player all right. One would be right to say the English national team is enjoying superfluous talents in the various striking positions right now.
The following established players are justling for a starting place in three lions: Harry Kane, Jamie Vardy, Welbek, Chamberlain, Dele Ali, Rashford* Lallana, Sturidge etcetera.
Where will a Tammy Abraham fit in here?
Meanwhile Nigeria cannot boast of so many talented forward players right now. And Super eagles has a good coach now in the person of Gannot Rohr.
He should understudy other players of Nigerian descent in the past who chose England over Nigeria. Gabriel Agbonlaho comes to mind, his England national career died a natural death even before taking off.
If Tammy was plying his trade in one of those smaller footballing European nations, like Norway, Poland, Serbia etc, it would have been a good decision. But for this present England, he needs retrospection.
