Newly invited Super Eagles winger Yira Sor Collins said he thought he was getting pranked when he was told about his invitation to the senior national team of Nigeria for the upcoming friendly tournament in Turkey.
Nigeria will be up against Iran and Jordan respectively in the tournament which will run for four days. The team is already in Turkey preparing for their first game on Friday.
Belgium based Sor is among the new players called by head coach Eric Chelle for the four team tournament, and he arrive in camp with a reputation as one of the fastest wingers in Europe at the moment.
The Genk of Belgium winger has four goals and an assist in 24 matches, beyond his numbers Chelle handed him a spot largely due to his pace, intensity and ability to help the team in transition from defence to attack.
” I thought it was a prank until I arrived here in camp. It feels so good to be involved with the senior national team after my experience with the U20 team in 2019″, he told OwnGoalNigeria.com in an exclusive chat.
