Arsenal star Bukayo Saka has admitted that he is proud to be associated with Nigeria but insisted he wants to be a part of the England national team's project.

The teenage sensation was recently named in Gareth Southgate's squad for this month's UEFA Nations League encounters against Wales, Belgium and Denmark.

And this means he will not be eligible to play for the Super Eagles despite their keen interest to have him play for the three-time African champions.

Saka however promised to keep supporting the team in the best way he could, adding that he will watch them play at his convenience.

He was also part of the Gunners team who won the FA Cup and Community Shield under Mikel Arteta in August.

Legit.ng recalls that Bukayo Saka has finally opened up about choosing which country he would represent at the international level between England and Nigeria.

The Arsenal star has played the British side at the U16, U17, U18 and U19 levels and his recent form for the Gunners this season would see him move straight into the senior team.

And the British-born Nigerian winger has said that it would be a tough choice to pay for either the Three Lions or the Super Eagles.
