Crystal Palace midfielder, Eberechi Eze has said he has no regret donning the England jersey instead of that of the Super Eagles of Nigeria.
Eze had a fantastic campaign for the south-London club in the just-concluded season, scoring 10 goals and providing four assists in 38 Premier League appearances.
His impressive form for Crystal Palace, which was part of what helped them avoid relegation eventually earned him a maiden call-up to the Three Lions squad.

Speaking to ESPN about his invitation by England coach, Gareth Southgate, after reporting to the Three Lions camp, Eze revealed it was a big opportunity.
He also said choosing the country of his birth, England over Nigeria, where his parents originated was the best choice for him.
He said: “We think that this is the best one. It is a big opportunity for me. It is the highest level of football. I look at it with no regret at all.
“It is the highest level of football. You want to test yourself against that, you want to be in that, and you can see from the quality of the team, where they are getting to, the confidence they are playing with, it is incredible. So, being part of that is big.”
Eze added: “I received the call, and I felt it was the right decision to make, and I am very, very happy to be here,”
