  Bournemouth Winger May Consider Playing For Nigeria By Sampson Adedeji After having a cap for Dutch national side, Bournemouth Winger, Arnaut Danjuma, is already thinking of switching allegiance to Nigeria, BSNSports.com.ng reports. Danjuma was born in Lagos, Nigeria by a Nigeria mother to a Dutch father . The 24-year-old has represented the Netherlands twice at senior level, having played in a UEFA Nations League game against Germany as well as scoring in a friendly against Belgium. “I’ve heard some bits about Nigeria but I can’t say too much about it though. “My mum is Nigerian and my father lived 23 years in Nigeria as well. “The culture is still within the family, so it’s not disregard for the Nigerian side. It’s a choice I will think about but I need some time, obviously. “I think they are interested but obviously I play for the Dutch national team already, I scored for the national team already, so I’ve made that decision. “With the choice, I would like to represent Holland as well but then again I’m not being called up at the moment. “So on the back of that, maybe I need to make some decisions. “I’ve played for Holland at senior level. One cap in the Nations League and one against Belgium but that wasn’t an official match. They have changed the rules so, if you have one cap, you can still change. “It isn’t a decision I can make just in a split second. I need to think about it," he stated. A new rule approved by FIFA in September means players can switch nations, if they have played no more than three competitive games prior to them turning 21.
