“He earned his first Super Eagles invitation for the 2021 AFCON qualifiers against Sierra Leone before it was called off as a result of the Covid-19” – IS THIS TRUE AT ALL??? CSN!
That’s never true at all. I am still surprise that this guy hasn’t move up to a bigger team considering his wonderful performance before the eredivisie was cancelled owing to the covid-19 pandemic.
He doesn’t want a Super Eagles chance for himself na. If he likes, he should not be wise. Move to a better league, a better club else you won’t get a call up
