Adebayo’s Super Eagles Dream
Adebayo’s connection to Nigeria runs deep, and his recent comments have sparked excitement about the potential of seeing him in a Super Eagles jersey.
“I would like to play for Nigeria, It would make my mum happy, make her proud. That’s something we’ve spoken about. Playing for England? It would be a case of whichever comes first.”
“My mum would be proud if I played for Nigeria or England, but Nigeria especially.”
He shared, as reported by Soccernet highlighting the emotional significance of representing Nigeria on the international stage.
In the Spotlight for Luton Town
Adebayo’s form this season has been nothing short of spectacular, netting 9 goals in 23 league appearances, including a standout performance against Brighton.

The Nigerian football community is keenly watching Adebayo’s next move, hoping he opts for the Super Eagles over the Three Lions.
With Nigeria’s strong showing at the recent Africa Cup of Nations, where they finished as runners-up, the addition of Adebayo could further bolster their attacking force.
His mother’s support for the Super Eagles, cheering them on during the AFCON final, adds a personal touch to the story, making the prospect of Adebayo wearing the Nigerian colours even more special.

As the football world watches, the decision lies with Adebayo, whose next steps could see him shine on an even bigger stage.
