Nigeria lose as Fikayo Tomori accept England after surprise call-up

Chelsea defender Fikayo Tomori says he is "committed" to England after considering which country to represent.

Tomori, 21, was born in Canada and played for their under-20s team, and is also eligible to play for Nigeria. He said that receiving his first England call-up for the Euro 2020 qualifiers away to the Czech Republic and Bulgaria was "unexpected".

"Depending on how you look at it, being eligible for three countries is a good thing and a bad thing," he said. "I wasn't expecting to be in the England squad at the beginning of the season, and once I got the call-up there was no doubt I would commit.

"It's a bit cliched but it is a dream. Growing up in England and seeing the players playing at Wembley, it was such a good feeling. It's indescribable. I tried to take it in as much as possible, but it was a very proud moment."

Futhermore, Tomori's situation is similar to Chelsea team-mate Tammy Abraham, who also qualifies to play for Nigeria through his family and was called into the England squad for the Euro 2020 qualifiers.
