Despite being repeatedly overlooked by England’s national team, he now remains open to a call-up from the Super Eagles.

Solanke’s current season with Bournemouth has been impressive, with four goals to his name.

Born in England to a Nigerian father and British mother, he possesses the eligibility to don the green and white jersey of Nigeria’s Super Eagles.
