16-Year-Old Micah Olabiyi Opts for Super Eagles After Eric Chelle Invite
The Super Eagles have secured Wycombe Wanderers teenager Micah Olabiyi ahead of England. Olabiyi, who scored a 78th-minute winner on his League One debut in May 2026, joined Nigeria’s squad preparations during the Unity Cup in London. He says the invitation gave him a stronger sense of identity and pride. The forward admits he loves England, but his family’s reaction—especially his grandfather’s—pushed him towards Nigeria. This move underscores Eric Chelle’s strategy to recruit European-trained dual nationals and highlights the domestic league’s challenges in nurturing elite talent.
