Bournemouth winger Jordon Ibe is still hopeful of playing for England.
The Sun says he will snub Nigeria to keep himself in the frame for England.
The Bournemouth winger's form has reignited interest for him to switch countries from the Three Lions.
Ibe qualifies for Nigeria through his father and they are willing to offer the chance to fight for a World Cup place at Russia next year.
But the 22-year-old is refusing to give up on forcing his way into the reckoning for England under Gareth Southgate.
Ibe was tipped for an England call-up 18 months ago when he broke into the Liverpool first team as successor to Raheem Sterling, with Roy Hodgson admitting he liked him.
The ex-Wycombe youth player struggled settle when he moved to Bournemouth but has now started to live up to his £15million price tag.
