Lawrence Agyekum, currently on loan at Cercle Brugge from Red Bull Salzburg, has confirmed that he is eligible to play for the Super Eagles, thanks to his Nigerian mother. The 20 year old midfielder, born in Ghana, revealed that he can represent either Ghana or Nigeria at the international level as he has yet to be capped by either country.
In an interview, Agyekum expressed his love for both Ghana and Nigeria, stating, I have love for both countries and want to see them do well. While he follows both national teams closely, Agyekum is open to the possibility of playing for Nigeria, should the opportunity arise.

Agyekum joined Red Bull Salzburg in 2022 and has made four appearances for the Austrian Bundesliga club, along with 49 appearances for FC Liefering. He is currently playing in the Belgian Pro League, where he is looking to gain more first team experience.
We believe the Nigerian Football Federation should move quickly to engage Agyekum and make him feel welcome in the Super Eagles setup. His versatility and experience in the Austrian and Belgian leagues could provide depth in Nigeria’s midfield as the team prepares for future international competitions.
