Just splits opinions doesn't it to me he's English.
Like a Scouse couple moving to Manchester having a kid..bringing him up in Manchester goes to a Manc school has a Manc bird/fiends but the kid claiming he's a Scouser
He's a Manc
WHOS WITH ME

Im sorry, but saying someone "isnt such and such, because they were born at x", is basically saying adopted kids can never have a family. Thats BS.
If he wanted his chance for first team football and to show the world what he can do - he has it.
Unless you're Kanu of course....
If you're dual nationality, you're dual nationality.
The place where your born or you grow up isn't the only factor.
For example, what if you're born to British parents one of whom is in the air force so they travel around. You could be born in Germany, grow up in the US, spend years in the UK or some other base in the middle east or somewhere. What nationality are you then?

but he didn't travel around pal, he was brought up and stayed in London
I get dual nationality, my mate from school was brought up in huyton with me but his dad lives in America so he would fly out to America for a couple of months in the year to be with his dad, has an American passport that's dual nationality as he isn't set in one country, he moves inbetween both
I just don't get someone would want to represent a country they've never lived, I refer back to my post about 2 scousers moving to Manchester and having/bringing a kid up in Manchester, Manchester school/friends, does that kid refer to himself as a scouser or a manc? he's blatenetly a manc isn't he?
not arsed either way as long as he doesn't get injured or starting missing chunks of the season for the cup of nations thing

You cant really compare living in Manchester as opposed to Liverpool and living in Nigeria as opposed to England though.

of course not, it's an example on a much smaller scale, but the point remains doesn't it?

No not really. Lookman's family probably moved from Nigeria for a better/safer standard of life. It doesn't mean they are not Nigerian.
I get what you are saying but I don't think in an instance like this where both parents are Nigerian (from what I have read, I don't know if that's true or not) I don't think it works the same way.
Now if he all of a sudden claimed he was German...
Why is anyone in here arsed if he plays for England or Nigeria or what nationality he associated with for that matter.
You should be entitled to play for the country your parents were born in. I don't see the problem. You take your sense of nationality off your parents anyway you could argue.
A very eloquent way of saying, " who`s arsed ".
