Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) and the English Football Association may end up in FIFA’s court as the two nations set to return to the battlefield in the quest for the services of Chelsea defence ace Derrick Abu.
According to reports coming out of Europe, the English FA are keeping tabs on Abu with an intention of handing him a call up since NFF are yet to make an official move for the talented youngster.
