FIFA clears former England striker to play for Super Eagles
Lookman has impressed in the EPL this season, making 22 appearances for the Foxes across all competitions.
The wait to see Ademola Lookman eligible to play for Nigeria is finally over as FIFA has approved that the on-loan Leicester ace can switch his nationality from England to Nigeria.
Lookman, 24, came through the youth ranks with England at both U19 and U21 levels.
The former Charlton ace also helped England's U20s win the U20 World Cup in 2017.
But with Lookman far off a senior international call-up to Gareth Southgate's squad, Lookman decided he'd make the switch to play for Nigeria.
And according to The Associated Press, Fifa have approved the switch.
Lookman has impressed in the EPL this season, making 22 appearances for the Foxes across all competitions.
The attacker has managed to find the back of the net on five occasions and has picked up three assists along the way too.
His form could very well earn him a move back to the Premier League in the summer having spent the last two seasons on loan in the division.
It is yet to be seen if Lookman will be drafted immediately for the upcoming World Cup playoff against Ghana's Black Stars in March
