I'm Still Waiting For Super Eagles Invite From NFF- Balogun

Folarin Balogun says he would consider playing for Nigeria at senior international level - if the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) came calling, BSNSports.com.ng reports.

The 21-year-old, who is on loan at French club Reims from Arsenal, was born in the United States to Nigerian parents and has represented England at four different youth levels.

But, under Fifa rules, in-form Balogun would be free to switch to represent the Super Eagles because he has not played for the England senior side competitively.

And, despite scoring his seventh goal for the Young Lions in a 3-1 friendly win over Germany in September, Balogun has not ruled out representing Nigeria in the future.

"I haven't heard anything from Nigeria, but I'm open to anything because Nigeria is very close to my heart," he told BBC Sport Africa.

"My family's from there. I always have love for Nigeria."
