Chelsea midfielder Chukwuemeka: Could I play for Nigeria?

Chelsea midfielder Carney Chukwuemeka says it's too soon to consider his international future.

After last night's preseason draw with Borussia Dortmund in Chicago, Chukwuemeka was asked about committing to Nigeria.

The England U21 midfielder said: "I haven't really thought that far. At the minute I'm focused on England, obviously I've played for England at youth level, so we'll see what the future holds.

"For me personally it's just to break into the starting team this season. Set myself a target to contribute more to goals and assists this season as well and just to help the team win games and hopefully win trophies.

"The main aim is to break into the starting XI."
