Iorfa who represented the Super Eagles wants his son to wear the green and white colours, but says the decision is down to the player himself.
“I want my boy to decide for himself and I am very sure he would like to play for Nigeria his father’s country,” Iorfa snr told Goal.
“But he has a very good opportunity to showcase himself in the colours of his adopted country England against the U- 23 national team coached by Samson Siasia.
“I think after that we can now talk on the future of my son. What I am after is for him to continue to improve as a football player.”
Should Nigeria feature at the 2016 Toulon tournament, it would afford coach Siasia the opportunity to acess his players ahead the 2016 Olympics Football billed for Rio.
