The jet-heeled youngster Gabby Agbonlahor has been forced into making his international career choice earlier than I’m sure he’d expect, after Nigeria boss Berti Vogts has named him in the squad for the Africa Nations Cup.

Agbonlahor has played for the England U-21’s and has previously stated his determination to break into the full squad, but due to the new rules (the same rules that Jlloyd Samuel tried to use for the World Cup) he may choose the Super Eagles. When linked with the call-up way way back in September he said ‘I could play for Nigeria because of my dad, but I could also play for England and I’ve always wanted to play for England seniors. But I wouldn’t completely rule out Nigeria in the long term.’
