West Ham’s Gabriel Agbonlahor has represented England in the U-21 set up for the last couple of years, but has yet to represent at the Full International Level, something that isn’t lost on new Nigeria Head Coach Shaibu Amodu.

While Agbonlahor has been called into the Full England set up, he’s had to pull out due to injury for previous camps which means that he’s still be eligible to represent Nigeria.

Now Agbonlahor has to make one of the most important decisions in his career after Amodu named him in Nigeria’s 50 man World Cup Qualification squad, choose Nigeria and turn his back on his England hopes or decline to represent Nigeria and wait for his England chance.

With Agbonlahor already in camp with England for Wednesday’s match at Wembley against the United States, it looks as if he’s already made his decision.
