Luton’s Rising Star Adebayo Sets Sights on Nigerian National Team
Luton Town’s towering striker Elijah Adebayo has set his sights on representing the Nigerian national team, the Super Eagles. This ambition comes after a stellar season where he spearheaded the Hatters’ successful promotion push to the Premier League.
The 26-year-old forward, a commanding presence at 6ft 4in, has already netted an impressive nine goals in just 23 appearances in the top flight. Adebayo believes his strong Nigerian heritage and current form make him a strong contender for a dream call-up.
Family Ties and National Pride:
“Heritage is a big deal for me,” Adebayo said in a recent video. He elaborated on his Nigerian roots, mentioning his Nigerian-born mother and his past visits to the country. “My grandma even lives in Nigeria,” he added. “I’m proud to be Nigerian and playing for them would be incredible. My mum would be so proud too!”
From Non-League to Premier League Threat:
Adebayo’s journey has been remarkable. From his non-league beginnings, he’s risen to become a crucial figure in Luton’s historic promotion. His physicality, aerial prowess, and leadership qualities have made him a force to be reckoned with in the Premier League.
A Case for International Recognition:
If Adebayo can maintain his current form and help Luton secure a surprising return to the top flight, his case for a Nigerian call-up will be hard to overlook. With Nigeria seeking redemption after their World Cup disappointment, Adebayo’s impressive form could put him in the running for a national team spot.
