The President of Nigerian Football Federation (NFF) Amaju Pinnick has reported that Liverpool midfielder Ovie Ejaria has promised to commit to playing for Nigeria.
It has been reported that Ejaria's paperwork has been filed FIFA.
However, FIFA will certainly not process a change of association because Ejaria's passport has expired which means there's need for a fresh application to be submitted.
Two out of the five documents to be submitted to FIFA are a copy of Ejaria's passport showing his Nigerian nationality, which is valid at the time the request for a change of association is submitted; and a copy of Ejaria’s passport or identification showcasing his English nationality.
"Yes, he has agreed to play for Nigeria.
His documents have been sent to FIFA." Pinnick said to ESPN.
Anonymous Super Eagles team source has admitted that Ejaria's documentation would probably need to be re-filed after the coronavirus lockdown.
