QPR defender Onuoha agonising over Nigeria choice

QPR defender Nedum Onuoha is agonising over a decision about his international future.

Onuoha has 21 England Under-21 caps, but was born in Nigeria.

He told the Guardian: "The feeling I get when I'm watching Nigeria is different to the feeling when I'm watching England. But then also, I've lived my life here, I feel privileged to play here. It's hard for people to understand. I was born in Nigeria. There's a lot of pressure to play for Nigeria from some of my older relatives. I want to make a decision when I'm playing well enough to be considered by England too."
