Chelsea centre-back Tosin Adarabioyo has officially pledged his international future to Nigeria, ending speculation over his national team allegiance.

The 27-year-old defender, who recently joined Chelsea from Fulham, has finally opted to represent the Super Eagles at senior level after years of being courted by the Nigerian Football Federation.

Born in England to Nigerian parents, Adarabioyo had previously represented England at youth level but never earned a senior cap.

His decision comes at a crucial time as Nigeria look to bolster their defence ahead of the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) and the 2026 FIFA World Cup qualifiers.
