Rangers loanee Nathan Oduwa could be set to switch international allegiances after joining up with a Nigerian U23 training camp.

The 19-year-old, who is on loan at Ibrox from Tottenham, could represent England or the Super Eagles after being born in London to Nigerian parents.

He has represented England from U17 to U20 level but is eyeing a potential place at next year's Olympic Games in Rio should he decide to turn out for Nigeria.

Oduwa told Rangerstv.tv:  "It's a very exciting time; this is my first call-up for my origin country, where my Mum and Dad are from.

"It would be a fantastic opportunity to play on the platform that is the Olympic Games and it's a very good team so we'd be going there to win it not just participate.
