The Super Eagles of Nigeria<\/a> are set to miss out on the services of Chelsea forward Tammy Abraham as he’s reportedly set to pledge his allegiance to the Three Lions of England.<\/p>\n

Abraham, who has been in a stunning form for the Blues this season, was approached by the Nigeria Football Federation to commit his international future to the three-time African champions which he declined .<\/p>\n

According to English newspaper\u00a0Telegraph<\/span><\/a>, the 21-year-old centre-forward won’t turn down the chance to feature for the Three Lions if he’s included in Gareth Southgate’s squad for next month’s European Championship qualifiers against Czech Republic and Bulgaria.<\/p>\n

Southgate is expected to release his squad by Thursday and many Nigerians will hope to see the Chelsea star excluded from the list.<\/p>\n

Should he feature in any of the upcoming fixtures,\u00a0 the former Aston Villa striker will finally put an to the uncertainty surrounding his international future.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, another Chelsea star Fikayo Tomori is equally tipped to create another international tug-of-war between both countries following his awesome start to his Chelsea career.<\/p>\n

The centre-back is being monitored by the Nigeria FA while England and Canada are very much in the race for services.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
