Hehehehe...nice one.... His father is Nigerian and he revealed
to BBC Sports why he wants to play for us. The 22year old former Spain
youth international defender, who is a regular for Real Madrid's B
side, is free to play for Nigeria because he has not yet played for any
country's senior national team.
"I have lived in Spain all my life and I am not sure
the people in Nigeria are aware that I have Nigerian blood. I
crave for something special with Nigeria because it will give me a
chance to properly connect with the ancestral home of my father. My
father is from Benin City and even though I have never been there I
always follow events in Nigeria. I celebrated when the country won the
Africa Cup of
Nations in 2013 and I was cheering the team at the last World Cup in
Brazil." Derik told
BBC Sports
