Tosin Adarabioyo, Chelsea defender, was hosted by Babajide Sanwo-Olu, governor of Lagos, on Tuesday.
The 27-year-old centre-back was a member of the Chelsea team that recently won the restructured FIFA Club World Cup, which was hosted in the US.
Adarabioyo was born in London, UK, to parents of Nigerian heritage.
During his visit to Nigeria, the footballer will be organising a football tournament in Lagos named the Tosin Adarabioyo Youth Cup.
The competition kicks off on July 23 with four teams participating.
The participants are 36 Lion FC, Mavilon FC, Seamoriow Football Academy and a team representing the Lagos State Football Association (LSFA).
Although Adarabioyo represented England across multiple youth levels, he is yet to feature for the country’s men’s national team.
He has been repeatedly linked to a switch of allegiance to the Super Eagles of Nigeria.
