England-born Nigerian forward Eberechi Eze who plays for Queens Park Rangers, missed out on the Championship’s best young player poll voted by Sky Sports readers, Completesports.com reports.
The Championship best young player went to Leeds United’s Ben White.
After almost 40,000 votes were cast in the poll of 10 players aged 22 or younger, White got 22 per cent of the vote to beat Eze and others.
Eze is eligible to play for Nigeria as he has never featured for the English senior national team in a competitive game.
Last month NFF president Amaju Pinnick visited Eze in England in a bid to convince the 21-year-old to switch his allegiance to Nigeria.
