Born in Nigeria but raised in Newcastle, he played for England at under-21 level.Shola Ameobi has finally agreed to dump the Three Lions for the Super Eagles after talks with the new Eagles manager Samson Siasia.
The Newcastle Untied striker is reported to have signalled his readiness to switch nationality to join his peers in the Eagles’ colours.
The top striker made the u-turn following a fruitful discussion with Siasia and has, according to report, sounded out officials and associates on the likelihood of being called up to the Eagles camp soonest.
Although Ameobi has been caped at youth level by England, he is yet to get a full grade-A shirt, which makes him eligible for a run around in the colours of Nigeria and everything points in the direction of a call-up for him in February.
The Top striker has won England under-21 cups, but never played for the senior side, and the report indicates that Siasia has already contacted the 29-year-old with a view to inviting him.
