This is the type of players that is deserving of headlines and national team invitation. For three seasons, he has consistently proven his capabilities in European leagues and competition.
No need recycling failures when you have better players like Durosinmi, Akinsamiro, Kayode (Brentford), Ahanor (Atalanta), Odogu (AC Milan), Ovie Ejaria.. and co.
The players you’ve mentioned are solid except for Kayode who claims to be Italian. Ejaria I don’t know if he’s still great after such injury lay-off. Akinsaro Ebenezer is a solid midfielder and inter are counting to have him back after the season’s loan with Pisa expires. Our coach will release list soon I hope to see Akinsanro but I don’t know if they’ll invite Durosimi because he is not well regarded by the men at the top.
