Dominic Solanke, the Tottenham Hotspur forward, wishes to visit father’s land, Nigeria soonest.
He was given birth to by a Nigerian father together with an English mother and has never visited Nigeria before.
The 27 year old Chelsea player while on showmax said he is keen to no more about his origin.
He said, “I haven’t actually been yet,”
“I definitely need to take some time off soon and go and see my roots, so hopefully in the next few years.”
Despite the fact that he isn’t eligible to play for Nigeria again as he was already representing England at the senior level, he noted that he’s been keeping note of happenings in Nigerian football.
He noted, “My favourite Nigerian footballer currently has to be Ademola Lookman. We are very close friends. What he has been doing over the past few years has been nothing short of phenomenal,”
“What he has been doing has been crazy, especially for the Nigerian national team so I have been super proud. Another of my favourite Nigerian footballers has to be Victor Osimhen. He has been one of the best in the world.”
