    Nigeria are keen for Onuoha, who is yet to win a call-up from England boss Fabio Capello, to become a Super Eagle.

    However, the 22-year-old, who turns 23 on Thursday, admits the politics involved in playing for Nigeria is also a factor.

    "It is a tough call," he said. "I would love to play for England. But I also get a certain feeling when I see Nigeria play.
    "I can imagine myself really enjoying it and wanting to be part of it.
    "But it is not that simple. If you play for England that is fine.

    "It is not the best time to make such a big decision, so for now I am not making one.
