Lookman is not the first England youth FIFA World Cup player to shift allegiances to Nigeria, with Sone Aluko, Victor Moses, Shola Ameobi, Alex Iwobi and Ola Aina all doing so earlier. Former Chelsea star Moses attained important success following his change, appearing in two Football World Cup Finals and winning the Africa Cup of Nations in 2013. England manager Gareth Southgate influenced Lookman not to make the shift in 2018.

I know every nation is quite violent in their drafting and I know they have always had an attention in him, but he is playing and has been in our teams, the U20s, U21s, said Southgate. So in terms of inspiration through game time, we are doing as much as we possibly can to keep him in England World Cup squad. Lookman first exposed his intentions to change his international allegiance in January 2020, although he continued playing for England was a choice.
