Tottenham Hotspur goalkeeper Joshua Oluwayemi revealed his readiness to dump England for Nigeria, if approached by the African side ahead of the upcoming U20 World Cup.
The 18-year-old goalkeeper, who is highly rated among Tottenham supporters, has opened the gate for Flying Eagles head coach Paul Aigbogun to add more quality to his goalkeeping department.
Though Olawale Oremade was impressive for Aigbogun's side throughout U20 AFCON campaign, the Oasis FC netminder lacks much exposure and that's why Aigbogun must consider the Tottenham youngster while making his final squad for the tournament.
Dream Team VII head coach Amapakabo didn't trust Oremade enough to start him against Libya at the Stephen Keshi Stadium, instead, he deployed Super Eagles goalkeeper Francis Uzoho between the sticks.
This should serve as eye-opener to Aigbogun that there is a need to consider many options before sticking to any goalkeeper for the tournament.
Joshua, 18, has featured for England's U15 and U16 team. He is presently Tottenham's U-18 first-choice goalkeeper, hence, he has all the experience and quality needed to safeguard Flying Eagles' goal in Poland.
Joshua presently works under the tutelage of Arsenal and Tottenham's legend Pat Jennings, Aigbogun should expect nothing but breathtaking saves from the young man if called to camp.

Nigeria won't need to pass through rigorous processes to get the youngster because he hasn't played any competitive match for the European country.
