has expressed the enthusiasm of the entire family for the
player to represent Nigeria.



“Alex is very, very keen and the entire family is enthusiastic
for him to represent Nigeria. He was born here in Nigeria
but we took him as a four –month old baby to England and
he has been there ever since.
“He turned out for England at U-16, U-17 and U-18 levels in a
number of friendlies and invitational tournaments, but we
are all eager for him to play for Nigeria at senior level,”
Chuka Iwobi, a lawyer, told thenff.com.

for an 11th All-Africa Games qualifying match at the
weekend, just to feel the culture and tempo of the Nigeria
National Team camp setting.

green-white-green. Anything that we need to do, any letter
or papers that we need to give to the Nigeria Football
Federation, we are ready to do that.
“I can’t believe the publicity that he has amassed over the
past weeks. You open the papers and they are talking about
Alex, and also on the radio. It is amazing.”
Chuka Iwobi, from Onitsha in Anambra State, confirmed that
his mother is English but father a Nigerian, and there is no
iota of doubt on where his heart lies.
“Even if he is not able to play for the U-23 National Team, we
are looking forward to him playing for the Super Eagles. It
will be the fulfillment of a dream.”
