I hope Agbo’s team escapes relegation so that he can feature more in La liga next season.
This is a player who has been part of the super eagles for so long but sadly never had a game to show for all the troubles.
Now he plays in Spain though on loan if he could get a permanent contract and play his football in Spain,his international opportunities will be snowballed.
