Gernot Rohr has confirmed that he is still hoping he succeeds in persuading Everton star Ademola Lukeman to play for the Super Eagles.
Although, Ademola Lookman had played for England winning the U20 World Cup last year, but he is yet to play for the England senior team which qualifies him to play for Nigeria.
He was born in England 21 years ago, but his parents are Nigerians, and he has been a target since the last two years for the Super Eagles technical crew.
"He plays for the youth now but we hope he can change his mind and play for us.
"He's a player we know can add something to the team.
"Getting a player to change his national choice is not easy, quick and the process is never so straightforward.
"First we must be sure he wants to come. And hope to get it cleared by Fifa.
"Then the most important part is that he brings something new, different and better than we have,''
Gernot Rohr told BBC.
Sone Aluko, Victor Moses, Shola Ameobi, Alex Iwobi and Ola Aina are the players who were successfully convinced in the past to play for the Super Eagles.
