KRC Genk striker Tolu Arokodare says he’s willing to play for the Super Eagles but has not been contacted by the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF).
Arokodare, who has been painting the Belgian league with goals, stated this in an interview with TribalFootball.
He noted that he will continue to be patient and work hard in order to get invited into the senior national team.
“We have a huge talent in our attack, obviously, and the whole squad is full of talents. I haven’t been contacted by the NFF, but with time, if I keep performing right and doing the right things, I think I will get that call soon. With me not being called up, I think it’s not my time, and I think the players that are being called up before me worked to be in that position; they deserved every invitation to the Super Eagles. I just need to have patience and work harder.

Arokodare also expressed his desire to play in the Premier League despite Super Eagles striker Victor Boniface’s decision not to play in England.
“Boniface is saying he doesn’t want to play in the Premier League; that’s his preference. Everyone has what they want for themselves, and he has his style of play; he knows the kind of football he wants, and we are all different human beings, and we all know what we want.
“For me, I would love to play in the Premier League; it will be a dream come true for me; everyone is there but can’t want the same thing. If he says the Premier League isn’t his style, then we have to respect his taste and decisions.”

Nigeria have many good players inform in Europe but selection problem is our problem specially with indigenous coaches! Syril Dessers, Arokodare, chuba Apkom, Kevin Okpoguma suppose to be invited, little by little they will be getting use to the system of Super eagles game plans. Nigeria still need world class coach!
Apart from.Siasia, 9ja coaches are morons. These ppl are praising this eguavon like he is some WC coach, honeymoon period will soon be over. When he faces formidable coach then ppl.will.wake up.again and call for foreign coach. Nonsense squad by the way.
