Brentford’s Michael Kayode Reaffirms Commitment to Italy Over Nigeria

Brentford’s Michael Kayode Reaffirms Commitment to Italy Over Nigeria

Brentford defender Michael Kayode says he will wait for a senior call-up from Italy despite his eligibility for Nigeria. Born in Italy to Nigerian parents, the 21-year-old has always worn the Azzurri shirt at youth level. “I will always give priority to Italy,” Kayode told Italian media. He hopes to earn his first senior cap soon, even after discussions with former coach Gennaro Gattuso ahead of the World Cup play-offs. Kayode added that he felt involved in Italy’s plans despite missing out on the squad. The young full-back’s decision ends speculation over which nation he will represent at senior level and marks a boost for Italy’s defensive options.
