Chelsea forward Noni Madueke's recent hat-trick against Wolves has sparked interest in his eligibility to represent Nigeria's Super Eagles. Born in England to Nigerian parents, he has played for England at various youth levels but has yet to debut for the senior team, keeping Nigeria's hopes alive.
Chelsea's Noni Madueke has recently made headlines after scoring a sensational hat-trick in his team's 6-2 victory over Wolves in the Premier League. This remarkable performance has ignited discussions among fans of Nigeria's Super Eagles, who are eager for the talented forward to represent the country of his heritage instead of England, where he was born.
After a rocky start with Chelsea, Madueke has shown significant improvement this season. His pre-season efforts were noteworthy, as he netted three goals and provided an assist in five matches. Now, in the current season, he has continued that momentum with three goals and one assist in just two appearances, hinting at a promising campaign ahead.
Born in England to Nigerian parents of Igbo descent, he has the option to choose between playing for the Three Lions or the Super Eagles. While he has represented England at various youth levels, including U-16, U-17, U-18, and U-21, he has not yet been called up to the senior national team. This situation leaves the door open for him to switch to Nigeria, as he has not played for England's senior squad.
Despite the potential for a switch, it seems uncertain whether Madueke will decide to join the Super Eagles, particularly if his strong performances earned him a call-up from the England senior team. As supporters of Nigeria hold on to hope for his commitment, Madueke’s immediate future remains tied to his trajectory at Chelsea and any opportunities that may arise with England.
