Eric Chelle Silent on Chukwuemeka’s Nigeria Switch Talks

Carney Chukwuemeka’s international future remains uncertain as Nigeria coach Eric Chelle has yet to begin discussions over a potential switch

Super Eagles boss Eric Chelle has not made any approach to Borussia Dortmund midfielder Carney Chukwuemeka about representing Nigeria – www.isagoal.com reports.

AllNigeriaSoccer revealed that the 20-year-old, who recently joined Dortmund from Chelsea, is still being monitored closely by the Nigeria Football Federation.

Born in Eisenstadt, Chukwuemeka is eligible to play for Nigeria, England, or Austria at senior level, leaving his options wide open.

The midfielder’s name continues to circulate ahead of the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations, but no official talks have been opened with him or his representatives.

“Nothing has been discussed so far,” a source familiar with the situation confirmed, fueling more speculation about his international future.

Chukwuemeka is currently provisionally tied to England, having played a key role in their 2022 U19 European Championship victory.

He has also featured across England’s youth teams, making his competitive debut in 2021 during a qualifier against Andorra U19.

Any potential switch to Nigeria would require FIFA’s approval for a one-time association change.

For now, he appears inclined toward continuing with England, though many believe his decision could change as his club career progresses in Germany.
