Is Moffi a sure banker to attend the Afcon in December!
It depends.
It’s like Eric Chelle has some ace up his sleeves as several media outlets are reporting several fresh faces for the tournament.
Injuries have been cruel to Moffi in truth, making a once sharp striker quite blunt.
But he has clocked minutes to his belt in France but it remains to be seen whether he has done enough for consideration.
We need options for Osihmen up front. Dressers, Arokodare and Akor have all deputised to various degrees but none has come close to attaining Osihmen’s exceptional level of consistency and reliability.
Can that Moffi mastermind a remarkable rebirth? We fans hope so.
But, it remains to be seen whether he will even be on the plane to Morocco.
