England U21 striker Tammy Abraham has told the FA he remains available for selection and has rejected reports he wants to switch his international allegiance to Nigeria.
Abraham, who has also represented England at U18 and U19 level, was born in London but is also eligible to play for Nigeria through his father.
The Chelsea striker - currently on loan at Swansea - admits meeting Amaju Pinnick, the President of the Nigerian Football Federation (NFF), after the Swans' 0-0 draw with Tottenham at Wembley last weekend.
But Abraham has released a statement confirming he remains committed to England.
"Contrary to reports in the media today I would like to clarify that I have not agreed to switch my national team allegiance," said Abraham.
"I can confirm I met the President of the NFF after our last game against Tottenham at Wembley on Saturday given he is a friend of my father.
"However, any suggestion that I have made a decision to change my international representation is incorrect and wide of the mark.
"I have informed The FA that I remain available for selection for England."
