Chelsea's
Tammy Abraham says he has not yet decided whether he wants to play for
England or Nigeria.
The striker marked his 22nd birthday with his eighth goal of the season in
Chelsea's 2-1 win over Lille in the Champions League on Wednesday.
Abraham has already played for England at senior level in friendlies against
Brazil and Germany in 2017, as well as at youth level.
But he remains eligible to play for Nigeria.
"I love both nations," Abraham said. "To be wanted by both nations, clearly
I'm doing something right on the pitch for Chelsea. I just have to keep
going. My time will come.
"I'm not sure, I haven't made a decision yet. I'm just focusing on the club
now."
Abraham said he is "fully aware" of his Nigerian heritage.
"I've grown up in an area with a lot of African culture and African
background," he said.
"Even in the changing room nowadays, we play Afrobeats and all sorts. So
you're fully aware that Nigeria is a massive country. It's global."
On Thursday, England manager Gareth Southgate will name his latest senior
squad for the upcoming European Qualifiers against the Czech Republic and
Bulgaria.
