“I never turned down Nigeria and I have never had a conversation that I will be going to Nigeria,” Adarabioyo told reporters after Chelsea’s UEFA Europa Conference League final win over Real Betis.
“At the point last season, where there was a bit of conversation, I said I wanted to focus on club football, I was at the last year at Fulham and now at Chelsea, in my first year, where I needed to concentrate.
“Now is the time I need to make a decision (on international future).”
Adarabioyo joined Chelsea on a free transfer last summer.
