Tammy Abraham was the subject of speculation last month that he had chosen to switch allegiances to Nigeria, which the Chelsea striker denied.
However, Abraham, who is on loan at Swansea, remains a player Nigeria want in their squad to go to Russia — as are Everton's Ademola Lookman and Liverpool's Sheyi Ojo, who helped England win the Under-20 World Cup earlier this year.
Chelsea striker Tammy Abraham has played down speculation he will choose Nigeria
England Under 21 manager Aidy Boothroyd is preparing his side to face Scotland on Friday
So far, all those players have committed to England but manager Aidy Boothroyd, whose side face Scotland in a Euro 2019 qualifier in Middlesbrough on Friday night, has explained he cannot offer guaranteed starting spots.
Boothroyd said: 'Nigeria are trying to get as many players as they can and you can't blame them because we've got some good players. Sheyi Ojo is another.
It's just a matter of time before all speculations will be clarified but it'll be an added bonus if Nigeria could snap these 3 top talents for the next worldcup coming up on 2018.
