Highly rated PSV Eindhoven starlet, Noni Madueke is being eyed by Nigeria as the African country is looking to prise the sensational youngster away from England set-up, dailymail.co.uk.writes.
The 18-year-old former Tottenham forward is the latest target for Nigeria in its attempts to convince dual nationality English players to switch allegiances after failing in a bid to snatch Bukayo Saka.
Madueke has played for England from under-16 up to under-19 level and has emerged as the latest British youngster to star abroad. But he is also eligible for Nigeria through his parents and they want to tempt Madueke by handing the teenager a senior international call up.
Madueke left Spurs to join PSV in June 2018 – rejecting Manchester United in the process – and impressed for their youth sides before making his senior debut last season.
Madueke has scored four times and set up four more goals in just 11 appearances. Only three of those appearances have been starts and he displayed his potential once again with a two-goal performance off the bench in PSV’s 4-0 win over Den Haag on Sunday.
Nigeria’s readiness to fast-track talent has proved a successful approach and helped them persuade former England youngsters including Ola Aina, Alex Iwobi, and Victor Moses to change who they represent at the international level.
