Chukwuemeka was born in the Austrian city of Eisenstadt in 2003 to Nigerian parents, meaning he qualifies for both countries. He is also eligible to play for France.
He and his family lived in Austria during his early years before they moved to Northampton in England.
The Austrian FA are now working on securing Chukwuemeka's clearance and passport with the aim of him making this summer's World Cup squad.
