Marcus Abraham scored his fourth goal of the season in Portugal for top division side Estrela Amadora in their 2-2 draw against Gil Vicente yesterday, OwnGoalNigeria.com reports.
Capped twice by Nigeria at senior level by former coach Gernot Rohr, the 26 year old joined the team from the B team of league giants FC Porto after failing to make the breakthrough to the first team.
The move appears to have gotten his career back on track as he now has seven goal contribution (4 goals, 3 assists) in 22 matches this season. A remarkable tally for a player in a modest side.
Scouts working for the head coach of the senior national team of Nigeria Eric Chelle have sounded him out, but he is no where near a recall to the team at least for the time being.
He was linked with a move to the Brazilian league in the January transfer window, but the move wasn’t approved by Estrela Amadora who need the winger for the full campaign.
