(Sheyi Ojo poses with FIFA U20 World Cup trophy after his success with England in 2017)

In a recent interview with BBC Sport, Liverpool forward Sheyi Ojo says he is opened to playing for Nigeria at senior level, if the country's football federation expresses their interest in him.

 Ojo, who is on loan at French club Reims, is a FIFA U20 World Cup winner with England but he can still play for the Super Eagles in the future as he is yet to feature for the Three Lions.

The 21-year-old whose parents are Nigerians, is eligible to switch his international allegiance to Nigeria from England according to FIFA rules.

And having amassed 43 caps for England at junior levels, the pacy winger has admitted is ready to follow in the footsteps of Victor Moses, Shola Ameobi, Alex Iwobi and Ola Aina to wearing the green and white jersey of the Eagles.

"To be honest, I don't know much about it (Nigeria interest), but if they call me I'd be honoured to go to Nigeria," Ojo told Oluwashina Okeleji of BBC Sport.

"My parents are originally from Nigeria as well, so they know a lot about it. They've always been keen on the idea [to represent Nigeria] but so far I've mainly been focusing on club football.

"It's starting to get to the time where I have to start thinking about my future. And of course, if Nigeria were to call me now it would be an honour."

"It's obviously a massive nation. I'm just really focused on club football at the moment, but I'm excited for the future, both club and country.

Ojo who joined Liverpool in 2011 from MK Dons, also revealed that he will never reject the chance to play for Nigeria or England, as it will be an honour.

"Of course, if I was to get selected I'd definitely think about it, I'd never turn down Nigeria," he said Ojo.

"I'm from Nigeria originally so it'd be an honour, likewise with England as well. If I keep doing well, opportunities will come by for club and country.

"It's not really something I'm thinking about at the moment but you never know what could happen in the future."

He played a vital role in helping England's Young Lions to last year's world cup glory in South Korea, where they defeated Venezuela 1-0 in the final match.
