The 19-year-old who was also eligible to represent Nigeria was courted by former Super Eagles head coach, Gernot Rohr.

He confessed the idea to play for the Super Eagles crossed his mind but was more comfortable with the German national team.

“I could have played for Nigeria because it crossed my mind, and I thought about it well. I had good talks with Nigeria and Germany,” Musiala told TeamNigeriaUK3.

“So it really just came down to me and where I’d feel the most comfortable. So I decided to go with Germany.”
