AC Milan defender Fikayo Tomori says he feels Nigerian owing to his upbringing as a child.
The 23-year-old Canadian-born English footballer opted to represent England at senior level, and to date, he has represented the Three Lions once. The centre-back featured against Kosovo on November 17 during the 2020 Uefa Euro qualifiers.
In a recent interview, the defender went on to explain the meaning of his name and his feelings.
“My name is Nigerian and it means, ‘God has filled me with joy, it is typical in Nigeria to give such names,” Tomori told DAZN as quoted by MilanPress.
“I feel very Nigerian, when I was little my parents spoke to me in the local language and I ate typical Nigerian food.”
