Former England star, Eniola Aluko has explained her decision to play for the Three Lionesses instead of the Super Falcons of Nigeria.
The forward was born in Lagos to Nigerian parents but unlike her brother\, Sone Aluko, she chose to play for England.
Aluko recorded as much as more than 100 caps for the England national team before hanging her boots in 2016.
The former Chelsea star played for Great Britain at the 2012 Olympic Games, where she started all the four matches.
In Aluko’s eight years at Stamford Bridge, she became the club’s all-time top scorer with 68 goals in 158 appearances before her record was broken by Fran Kirby in December 2020.
Aluko represented England for eleven years and insisted that the Nigeria was not visible or accessible option.
“I get asked this a lot. The difference between me and Sone is that he had a choice. I didn’t really have a choice,” Eniola Aluko said on The Obi One podcast.
