Bayern Munich forward Jamal Musiala says he will choose to represent Germany over England or Nigeria at international level.
Musiala, who turns 18 on Friday, scored his first Champions League goal for Bayern Munich on Tuesday as the holders beat Lazio 4-1 in Rome to take control of the last-16 tie.
The Stuttgart-born forward, who has represented both England and Germany at youth level, says he has thought about his international future “a lot”.
He told The Athletic: “What is best for my future? Where do I have more chances to play?
“In the end, I just listened to the feeling that over a long period of time kept telling me that it was the right decision to play for Germany, the land I was born in. Still, it wasn’t an easy decision for me.
“I have a heart for Germany and a heart for England. Both hearts will keep on beating.
“It is difficult to find words for what England means for me because I have so many memories connected to very positive emotions.”
Musiala, who moved to England from Germany as a child and was in Chelsea’s academy prior to joining Bayern in 2019, has represented England at youth and Under-21 levels. He scored for the Under-21s in a 5-0 victory against Albania in November 2020.
