Nigeria's Super Eagles midfielder Fisayo Dele-Bashiru has revealed the reason he chose to represent Nigeria over the Three Lions of England, BSNSports.com.ng reports.

The Hatayaspor star player made his debut for Nigeria against Mozambique in an international friendly before scoring his first competitive goal against the Bafana Bafana of South Africa in the 2026 World Cup qualifier.

While speaking with Punch correspondent, Fisayo said he just want to make his family proud and happy.

" I was born in Nigeria, I left Nigeria when I was 2 years old , so, I really don't remember much about Nigeria.

The decision to play for Nigeria is because it's the country of my parent and playing for Nigeria will make them proud.

I have a lot of happy in Nigeria, so I just want to make everyone proud and that gives me motivation as well", he said.
