Agyekum confirms willingness to play for Nigeria despite Ghanaian roots

Cercle Brugge midfielder Lawrence Agyekum has confirmed his eligibility and willingness to play for the senior national team of Nigeria despite his Ghanaian roots.Born to a Ghanaian father and a Nigerian mother, Agyekum's dual nationality presents an interesting conundrum.The talented youngster, who has been making waves in the Belgium top division with Cercle Brugge recently expressed his willingness to don the Super Eagles' jersey if given the opportunity though he is registered as a Ghanaian player."My father is from Ghana but my mother is Nigerian.

I can play for both nations.

That's one part that people don't know about me and if the chance to play for Super Eagles comes, I won't say no." Agyekum stated in an interview with OwnGoalNegeria.com"I have love for both countries and want to see them do well.

Not too good for Ghana in the AFCON qualifiers but they are doing well in the World Cup qualifiers.
