Gernot Rohr has admitted he would want Crystal Palace star Eberechi Eze to commit to the Super Eagles because he is one of the best attacking midfielders in England.
Eberechi Eze has featured for the England U21s, but he could still switch international allegiance to Nigeria, where his parents are from.
“He is a wonderful player, one of the best offensive midfielders in England. I want to have him, but he can also play for England,” Rohr said in an interview by Elegbete TV.
“But the boy has to take the decision, we won’t force him.
“I sent him a message to say we are interested (in him playing for Nigeria), he replied he will think about it.
“What we can do is to explain to him how we work and our objectives.”
Under Rohr, several players have switched allegiance from their adopted European countries to play for Nigeria.
They include Kevin Akpoguma, Maduka Okoye and Cyriel Dessers.
