Is Arsenal wonderkid Harriman-Annous eligible to play for Nigeria?

Arsenal FC youngster Andre Harriman-Annous has continued to draw attention following his rapid rise to Mikel Arteta’s first team, Soccernet.ng reports.

The teenage forward has already made his senior debut for the Gunners and earned a place on the bench in the UEFA Champions League, which shows a belief in his potential at the Emirates.

Beyond club football, his international future is already becoming a topic of discussion.

Although he has featured for England at the youth level, reports indicate that Harriman-Annous holds eligibility to represent Nigeria, Ghana, and Lebanon, which opens up a potential tug-of-war for the young forward.

Multiple reports state that Andre Harriman-Annous is eligible to represent Nigeria through his mother, alongside eligibility for Ghana and Lebanon through his father.

While the youngster received his first call-up to the England U-18s in May 2025, his international future remains open as youth appearances do not cap-tie a player.

With Nigeria’s interest in foreign-based players from time to time, the Super Eagles may need to double up if they hope to convince Harriman-Annous to wear green and white at the senior level.

Debut for Arsenal and Champions League Involvement

The Hale End graduate made his senior debut in the Carabao Cup against Brighton & Hove Albion, where he impressed Mikel Arteta with his central attacking role.

His rise continued as he was included in Arsenal’s Champions League matchday squad against Slavia Prague, where he featured for 10 minutes.

Where He Can Feature for Nigeria in the Super Eagles Squad

If Harriman-Annous eventually opts for Nigeria, he would fit perfectly into the Super Eagles’ attacking setup. He primarily operates as a centre-forward, but also has the flexibility to play off the wings.

He would be a long-term option to compete in roles currently occupied by Victor Osimhen, Victor Boniface, Akor Adams, Tolu Arokodare, and a host of other striker options.
