Manchester United youngster Tosin Kehinde is in talks with
the Nigerian Football Federation (NFF) about representing the Super Eagles.
Kehinde, 19, was born in Lagos but raised in the UK and is
eligible to play for either Nigeria or England.
The midfielder and his representatives met Nigeria coach Gernot Rohr and NFF vice-president Seyi Akinwunmi on Sunday.
The meeting raises the possibility that Kehinde, a regular
for United's under-23s this season, could be included in the Nigeria squad for
the World Cup.
He has yet to make a senior appearance for United, although
he has trained with Jose Mourinho's first-team squad.
The NFF has not confirmed whether Kehinde has made himself
available for Nigeria, but sources said it is planned that a statement will be
released this week.
Nigeria play Serbia in a friendly on Tuesday before facing
England in a World Cup warm-up match on June 2.
