Eze on snubbing Nigeria

"It was more just speaking to the people around me, my family, my wife, getting good advice from the people around, trying to think what is the best decision for myself and my career.

"We think that this is the best one. It is a big opportunity for me, it is the highest level of football. I look at it with no regret at all.

"It is the highest level of football, you want to test yourself against that, you want to be in that and you can see from the quality of the team, where they are getting to, the confidence they are playing with, it is incredible. So, being part of that is big."
