Liverpool Midfielder, Ejaria Dumps England For Nigeria

Liverpool midfielder Ovie Ejaria has committed his international future to Nigeria.

Ejaria, 22, was born in London to Nigerian parents and has represented England at the U-20 and U-21 levels.

The talented midfielder who is currently on loan at Sky Bet Championship club Reading was part of the England U-20 side that won the FIFA U-20 World Cup in 2017.

Ejaria trained with the Golden Eaglets in 2013 but failed to make the final squad that won the FIFA U-17 World Cup in the United Arab Emirates.

“Ovie Ejaria has committed to Nigeria, an @NGSuperEagles team source tells me. Paperwork is already with FIFA, and Nigerian passport needs to be renewed. All but settled for the Liverpool man who is on loan at Reading,” former Super Eagles midfielder and ESPN journalist, Colin Udoh on Wednesday.

He has scored three goals and provided four assists in 35 appearances for Reading this season.
