Justin Njinmah, a 25-year-old winger for Werder Bremen, has shown interest in representing the Nigerian national football team, the Super Eagles, after the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) reached out to him. The German-born player is eligible to play for Nigeria through his father and has not been capped at any level by either Germany or Nigeria, indicating that he is free to choose his international allegiance. His openness to the opportunity stems from a motivating response to the NFF's interest, as reported by PUNCH Sports Extra.

Njinmah's potential switch to the Super Eagles has not been supported solely by the national football federation; he has the backing of his club teammate, Felix Agu. Agu, who previously represented Germany's Under-21 team before switching his allegiance to Nigeria and making his debut in the Unity Cup in London last year, has publicly encouraged Njinmah to consider joining the Super Eagles. Agu directly addressed Njinmah through social media, suggesting that it’s time for him to make a similar switch, emphasizing the potential benefits of playing for his father's homeland.

Currently, Njinmah is enjoying a fruitful season at Werder Bremen, which has likely contributed to his considerations regarding international play. As the NFF continues to search for talent to strengthen the Super Eagles ahead of upcoming international competitions, Njinmah’s admission of interest might prompt a swift pursuit from the organization. His situation highlights a growing trend of dual nationals in football choosing to represent countries where they have familial ties, ultimately enriching national teams with diverse talent.
