NFF President Pinnick Woos QPR Midfielder Ebere Eze To Play For Nigeria

The President of the Nigeria Football Federation [NFF], Mr. Amaju Pinnick has met with QPR midfielder Ebere Eze in London and conversation is ongoing about the possibility of Eze turning out for Nigeria.

The NFF President was at the Fulham v QPR Championship game of Friday to watch Nigeria-eligible Ebere Eze in action.

The President who maintains a keen interest in the player had also met with his father previously trying to get a decision on his international career.

Yesterday Eze also visited President Pinnick in the latter’s London home.

During discussions, the player was informed of the President’s desire, which echoes that of many Nigerians to see Ebere Eze switch allegiance and start playing his international football for Nigeria.

Talks are ongoing but the player has requested for the chance to continue to focus on his club career which is going well so far, and that further progress will be made in due course.

Some critics have, however, faulted NFF for making the matter public.

One social media influencer wrote:

“Since discussions are ongoing, why make the process public? Why put the lad under unnecessary pressure?

“Remember how similar meetings and pictures put Tammy Abraham under pressure?

“Rohr warned against this a few days ago, let them know they are wanted, and then let them breathe.”
