Tottenham Hotspur forward, Dominic Solanke, is currently making plans to visit Nigeria in yet to be determined date.
Speaking in an interview with Showmax, Solanke said, “I haven’t actually been yet. I definitely need to take some time off soon and go and see my roots, so hopefully in the next few years”.
The 27-year-old born to Nigerian father and English mother when asked his favourite Nigerian international, said, “My favourite Nigerian footballer currently has to be Ademola Lookman. We are very close friends. What he has been doing over the past few years has been nothing short of phenomenal.
“What he has been doing has been crazy, especially for the Nigerian national team so I have been super proud. Another of my favourite Nigerian footballers has to be Victor Osimhen. He has been one of the best in the world.”
Solanke is not eligible to play for Nigeria again having represented England at the senior level.
Solanke was born in Reading, Berkshire, and has never visited Nigeria.
The former Chelsea player said he is keen to know more about his roots.
