Speaking with Brila FM, Abiodun lauded Eagles handler Eric Chelle for unearthing new players for the senior national team.
“99% of those players that played against Zimbabwe are players that we have never seen before.
“But I know Tosin Durosimi, the one who came in, and Okonkwo, because I have seen him severally in action for Wrexham.
“Honestly, look at what the boys did; their performance is what I have been talking about for a very long time.
