Chelsea highly rated young defender Ola Aina failed to impress in their 2-1 loss to West Ham in the EFL Cup. A tie watched by coach of the senior national team of Nigeria Gernot Rohr.
The right full back was substituted after 67 minutes as he struggled to cope with the pace of the game, leaving manager Antonio Conte with no option but to replace him Pedro Rodriguez.
Aina is part of the players Nigeria are keen on persuading to switch allegiance to the Super Eagles after representing England at youth level.
