Tammy Abraham set to reject Nigeria and commit to England if selected by Gareth Southgate this week

Tammy Abraham is set to accept an England call if he is selected in Gareth Southgate’s next squad, by rejecting Nigeria’s hopes of securing the striker’s international future. According to Sportsmail, FA have requested Abraham’s medical records for Chelsea- a clear indication that he is under serious consideration for October’s EURO 2020 qualifiers against the Czech Republic and Bulgaria. Nigeria have tried to convince Abraham to switch his international allegiance. The striker, who is 22 on Wednesday, is yet to publicly clarify which country he wants to play for. Abraham would not be able to switch to Nigeria if he features for England in the forthcoming games.
