Head coach of the senior national team of Nigeria Eric Chelle is excited over the prospect of having Millwall winger Femi Azeez in his team following his decision to pledge his international future to Nigeria, OwnGoalNigeria.com reports.
Born in England to parents of Nigerian descent, Azeez accepted to pledge his future to Nigeria rather than wait for a call up to England, after a very good season in the English Championship.
The 24 year old was voted into the official team of the season, and also narrowly missed out on winning the player of the year in the division. His team also lost out in the playoff semi final yesterday to Hull City.
It means he will be available for selection by Nigeria for the upcoming Unity Cup friendly tournament, and Chelle can’t wait to have him in his ranks.
He sees the winger in the mould of Bayern Munich star Michael Olise in the way that they play. Particularly when it comes to beating their man on the flanks.
