Tammy Abraham has underlined his commitment to having an international career with England.

There were suggestions that the Nigeria Football Federation are hopeful of persuading the England Under-21 international, who qualifies for the African nation through his father, to switch countries.

But the Swansea striker, on loan from Chelsea, is adamant England are the country for him.

In a statement, Abraham said: "Contrary to reports in the media today I would like to clarify that I have not agreed to switch my national team allegiance. I can confirm I met the President of the NFF after our last game against Tottenham at Wembley on Saturday given he is a friend of my father.

"However, any suggestion that I have made a decision to change my international representation is incorrect and wide of the mark. I have informed The FA that I remain available for selection for England."
