The travelling won't help us much but good luck to him if he decides to play.

It's his life but I think it's a crap move.

If it is the like of Cameroon or Nigeria or Ivory Coast, he probably will jump into it.

I doubt he would be eligible.

Sierra Leone is a really poor nation that was ravaged for decades by civil war. So I'd be surprised if they were even close to being as good as Wales. But if a Premier League player in a top team like Villa pledged his allegiance, he'd be the biggest star in the country. Not much chance of that happening here even if he achieves the impossible and gets a full England cap.
