Cercle Brugge midfielder Lawrence Agyekum has an interesting story that many might not know, yet he wants Nigerians to know and throw in their support.

Born to a Ghanaian father and a Nigerian mother, Agyekum holds dual nationality, opening doors to a unique footballing opportunity with the chance to represent either nation, footballrover reports.

What will he choose when the time comes?
In an exclusive interview with OGN, Lawrence Agyekum shared his sincere feelings about both countries.

He expressed a deep love for Nigeria and Ghana but made it clear that if the opportunity to play for the Super Eagles arises, he would eagerly embrace it.

This duality adds an exciting dimension to his career, and Agyekum is fully aware of the significance it holds.

Agyekum revealed an intriguing aspect of his heritage that often goes unnoticed. He emphasised that while he appreciates the pride of representing Nigeria, he is also invested in Ghana’s football journey.

With a playful spirit, he pointed out that Ghana may be struggling in the AFCON qualifiers, yet they are thriving in the World Cup qualifiers, and Nigeria appears to be facing challenges in their campaign.

Lawrence Agyekum: A passionate observer of both nations

Agyekum revealed that he closely follows the progress of both teams, rooting for their successes while revelling in the drama that unfolds on the pitch.

“My father is from Ghana, but my mother is Nigerian. I can play for both nations. That’s one part that people don’t know about me, and if the chance to play for the Super Eagles comes, I won’t say no,” Agyekum stated.

“I have love for both countries and want to see them do well. Not too good for Ghana in the AFCON qualifiers, but they are doing well in the World Cup qualifiers. For Nigeria, the reverse is the case. I follow both closely,” he added.

His love for both nations shows the rich tapestry of his identity and hints at a promising future, regardless of which jersey he ultimately wears.
