Eze Believes That Opting For England Was The Right Choice

Crystal Palace midfielder Eberechi Eze, who was born in England to Nigerian parents, has expressed no regrets about choosing to represent England at the international level over Nigeria.

He recently received a call-up to the England squad for the Euro 2024 qualifiers against Malta and North Macedonia, effectively ending Nigeria’s pursuit of securing his allegiance.

Eze firmly believes that he made the right decision by opting to play for England.

“I don’t know when I decided,” Eze said in an interview with londonnewsonline.

“I received a call and felt as though it was the right decision to make. I’m very, very happy to be here.

“Speaking to people around me, my family and my wife – getting good advice from the people around me – to think about what the best decision is for myself and my career. We think this (playing for England) is the best one.

“It’s a big opportunity for me – it’s the highest level of football. I look at it with no regret at all.”
