He confessed the idea to play for the Super Eagles crossed his mind but was more comfortable with the German national team.

“I could have played for Nigeria because it crossed my mind, and I thought about it well. I had good talks with Nigeria and Germany,” Musiala told TeamNigeriaUK3.

“So it really just came down to me and where I’d feel the most comfortable. So I decided to go with Germany.”

The versatile winger has scored once in 20 appearances for Germany.
