Tammy Abraham Expresses Desire to Revisit Nigeria Despite Choosing England
AC Milan striker Tammy Abraham has expressed his heartfelt desire to visit Nigeria again, reflecting on his deep connection to the country through his heritage and upbringing.
Born in Camberwell, London, to Nigerian parents, Abraham holds cherished memories of his time in Nigeria, a land rich in culture and tradition.
In a recent interview with Milan TV, the 27-year-old footballer shared his affection for the country, saying, “I have a few Nigerian friends.
I grew up in an area with many Nigerians, and I was raised with that culture. I’ve been to Nigeria, and I hope to go back soon. My mom often cooks Nigerian dishes.”
These words reveal how his Nigerian roots remain a significant part of his identity, influencing both his personal life and his football career.
Abraham’s journey in international football took a pivotal turn in 2017 when the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) made attempts to persuade him to represent the Super Eagles.
However, after careful consideration, he ultimately decided to commit his international career to the England national team.
Since making his competitive debut in 2020 against the Czech Republic, Abraham has earned 11 caps and netted three goals for the Three Lions, solidifying his place in the squad.
Despite his choice to represent England, Abraham’s fondness for Nigeria is undeniable.
He remains proud of his heritage and is eager to reconnect with the country that plays a crucial role in his family history.
As he continues to excel in his career with AC Milan, fans are hopeful that he will soon make a return to Nigeria, where he can further explore his roots and the vibrant culture that has shaped him.
Former footballer Thierry Henry has shared his thoughts on Arsenal’s match following their loss to Atlético Madrid on October 13.
Speaking during a brief interview on CBS Sports, Henry criticised the practice of players or coaches expressing certain opinions through the media instead of addressing issues directly within the dressing room.
“I’m not a coach anymore, but I always say, whoever speaks like that, out. Keep that in the dressing room, it’s as simple as that,” Henry said on CBS Sports.
“That is the only way it can work. You have to say those things to a person’s face… going through the press, I am not really a fan of that.”
Paris Saint-Germain manager Luis Enrique has shared his thoughts on the 2026 Ballon d’Or award, revealing that he hopes the winner will come from his team.
The manager spoke about how hard his players have worked and expressed his belief that they deserve the recognition.
“What I hope is that we win this trophy. We have players who deserve it.”
“Last year, we were the best team. We showed that it wasn’t just Ousmane Dembélé who deserved it.”
French football pundit Walid Acherchour has named Lamine Yamal as his pick to win the 2026 Ballon d’Or, sparking reactions among football fans.
Acherchour’s choice came as a surprise to some fans, who expected him to support fellow Frenchman Kylian Mbappé instead.
Speaking about his prediction, Acherchour expressed confidence in Yamal’s chances of winning the prestigious individual award.
“For me, Lamine Yamal, he is going to get it [2026 Ballon d’Or]. For me, there’s no doubt anymore,” Acherchour said, as quoted by Actu Foot. That start to the season shows that in fact, he was injured during the World Cup. He was the best player in La Liga, and he won the World Cup.
“Even if, for me, in fact, he doesn’t have the Ballon d’Or unanimously because his World Cup was average, even being average, he won it with Spain. He won La Liga with Barça.”
