Sydney Sam dumps Germany for Nigeria

Sydney's dad is Nigerian, his mum
German. He was born and
raised in Germany and has
played in that country all his
life...until now. He has agreed to
play for the country of his
father’s birth - Nigeria.
The Bayer Leverkusen striker
played for the German under-19
and under-20s national team
but has never played for the
German senior team which
makes him eligible to play for
the Nigerian senior national
team.
Coach Stephen Keshi said
yesterday that Sydney is keen to
join up with the rest of the
Super Eagles players ahead of
the African Nations Cup in South
Africa
