Arsenal striker, Marley Frohock, has confirmed his eligibility to play for Nigeria at senior level.
The youngster said he was eligible to represent the three-time African champions through his Nigerian mother.
He could play for England through his father.
Frohock, who was born in Basildon, United Kingdom, said it was his father that encouraged him to start playing football.
Frohock has not played for either Nigeria or England at any level and signed a scholarship with Arsenal in the summer of 2025.
He made his competitive debut for the U18s while still a schoolboy, starting in a 3-2 defeat to Norwich City in October 2024.
Following spells at Little Kickers and Billericay Town, the 17-year-old joined Arsenal’s Hale End Academy in May 2022 after a successful trial.
“In terms of my family background, my mum is Nigerian and my Dad is English, with a bit of Dutch heritage too,” Frohock told Arsenal’s Young Gun series.
“I got into football through my dad. He encouraged me to start kicking a ball, and he’d played semi-professional level himself.”
Frohock trained with Arsenal’s first team before their Premier League games against Manchester City and Sunderland.
