Tottenham Hotspur defender Destiny Udogie made his competitive debut for Italy on Saturday. Udogie is of Nigerian descent and he's still eligible to play for Nigeria, as per FIFA rules.
FIFA rules states that if you've not played upto three competitive matches, then you can switch allegiance to another country.
Udogie after his sensational debut for Italy:
“I've been waiting for this day for a long time, representing the Italian National has always been my dream.”
“My Tottenham season is going very well, I want to keep doing well and give 100%. Tuesday's match against England is precious to us, we must stay focused. I dedicate my departure to my family and everyone who has supported me so far."
Only time will tell if the highly rated defender will choose the Super Eagles in future.
