Nigeria make approach for Liverpool star Sheyi Ojo
Ojo has enjoyed a breakthrough season under Jurgen Klopp, making 10 appearances - scoring one and assisting three.
The 18-year-old is expected to start the final game of the season for the Reds against West Brom tomorrow (3pm).
And according to the Daily Mail, Nigeria are keen to see him pledge his international future to them - despite representing England at youth level.
The winger has made 31 appearances for England from U16 to U19 level and is reportedly well thought of by the FA.
However, Arsenal starlet Alex Iwobi was in a similar position and opted to pledge his future Nigeria this year, representing them in an African Cup of Nations qualifier.
Ojo was born in the UK but is eligible to represent Nigeria due to his parents' heritage - he will be eligible for either country before he makes a competitive senior appearance.
