NO REGRET CHOOSING ENGLAND OVER NIGERIA – CRYSTAL PALACE’S EZE
Crystal Palace forward, Eberechi Eze has said that he has no regret in choosing to play for the Three Lions of England instead of the Super Eagles of Nigeria.
The Nigerian-born had a fantastic season for the south London side, making 38 appearances in the Premier League while scoring 10 goals and providing out four assists.
The midfielder’s impressive form in recent months is instrumental in landing him his first maiden call-up to the England squad.
Reacting to the invite after reporting to the Three Lions camp, Eze revealed that choosing England over Nigeria was the best choice for him.
“We think that this is the best one. It is a big opportunity for me. It is the highest level of football. I look at it with no regret at all,’’ Eze said, as quoted by ESPN.
“It is the highest level of football. You want to test yourself against that, you want to be in that, and you can see from the quality of the team, where they are getting to, the confidence they are playing with, it is incredible. So, being part of that is big.
“I received the call, and I felt it was the right decision to make, and I am very, very happy to be here,” Eze said.
