But Iwobi, who is the nephew of former Nigeria star Jay-Jay Okocha, has committed to the country of his birth.
He said in January: “My dad has told me a lot of things about the honour and pride that goes with playing for Nigeria.
“So I thought a lot about this and decided to play for Nigeria.”
Iwobi’s call up follows Jordon Ibe’s decision to commit his international future to England.
