Manchester City defender, Manuel Akanji, has opened up on the eagle tattoo he has on his body and how it ties to his Nigerian roots.

The West African country still has a place in Akanji’s heart, despite his decision to play for Switzerland at international level.

The 30-year-old, who is now on loan at Inter Milan, revealed this during an interview with Inter TV.

Akanji was born to a Nigerian father and Swiss mother.

“This is the eagle, from the Nigerian national team, with the football under it. It’s something I carry with me,” Akanji said, pointing to the tattoo on his left arm.

“Obviously, I play for the Swiss national team, but I’m still really proud of being Nigerian.

“I could only make one decision, but they are still with me all the way.”
