Nigeria hoping to pinch Danjuma from the Netherlands
Posted By Admin On March 1st, 2021 07:10 PM | Dutchmen Abroad, News, Oranje

Nigeria are hoping to convince Bournemouth winger Arnaut Danjuma Groeneveld to represent them despite his two caps for the Netherlands.

The attacker made his Netherlands debut against Germany in a Nations League game in 2018, and also featured in the friendly against Belgium. He has not been seen in Oranje since, though.

According to The Sun, Nigeria are hoping to take advantage of new FIFA rules, which makes it easier for a player to change nations. The new rule means a player is not committed unless they play three competitive games for a nation.

Danjuma has a Dutch mother and Nigerian father, but has previously pledged allegiance to Oranje. He even spoke in December about his hopes of getting a call-up from Frank de Boer.

He told AD, “Oranje is in my head, but I wonder whether it is appreciated what I show across the border. I have the qualities for Oranje, but of course, I am not the national coach. The European Championship, soon the World Cup, those are dreams. “

Danjuma has made 21 league appearances for Bournemouth this season, scoring seven times.

Agents at work ! This might be his agents underbelly scheme to force Dutch soccer manager or officials for a national team call-up.

[The Observer]

Danjuma was 21 when he had his two caps for Netherlands. Is he still eligible to switch under the new FIFA rules?

Nigerians and shortcut to success!... League den no wan develop, under age competition den no wan take seriously, but na to dey pursue players wen get 0 interest den sabi!

[Bigpokey24]

Don't you losers like iworo and the clueless nff gets tired of embarrassing una sefs with trying to force folks on players who aren't interested. Smh.

[vancity eagle]

Are these guys effing serious !!!

This guy isn't even good enough to make a SE 23. He's playing in championship and not even setting the place alight.

Who are these people who want to keep sinking so low to beg guys who rejected us to play for us ?

I mean I'm for foreign borns so long as they want to play for us and so long as they are better than what we already have. For heavens sake.

He should apply for Surinam, Curacao, or one of the other Dutch colonies.

He has chosen the Netherlands. We wish him well with his choice. If he is still eligible to play for Nigeria, he shoukd go to the back of the queue, far beyond the fully committed players.
