Brentford teenager Kaye Furo has emerged as a player of interest to Nigeria as he considers his international future while representing Belgium at youth level — GoalNigeria.com reports.
The 19-year-old forward is being tracked by Super Eagles coach Eric Chelle, who wants to add more attacking options to his squad.
Furo has represented Belgium at youth level and remains part of their development system.
The forward joined Brentford in January as he looks to earn more first-team opportunities. He made one senior appearance last season, but the club rate him highly and expects him to continue improving.
Nigeria link through his father
Furo can represent Nigeria through his father, former Super Eagles defender Furo Iyenemi.
His family background has made him a potential target for Nigeria, who continue to follow players with Nigerian heritage abroad.
Furo also visited Nigeria during the recent international break, strengthening his connection with the country.
Chelle’s search for attacking depth
Chelle wants more options in attack to support Victor Osimhen, Nigeria’s main striker.
Furo’s pace and potential have attracted attention, although he is still building experience at senior level.
The teenager joins a group of young forwards being monitored as Nigeria plan for the future.
Why dual-national players matter
Players with links to more than one country have become increasingly important in international football.
Many young talents develop in Europe while keeping eligibility through their family roots. National teams now compete early to secure promising players.
Nigeria have followed this approach by tracking eligible players across European leagues.
Furo’s decision remains open
Furo’s final choice could depend on his club progress, senior international opportunities and his personal connection to both nations.
For now, he remains a Belgium youth international. However, Nigeria’s interest has placed his future under closer attention.
