The agent of former Nigeria U17 captain Samson Tijani says his client has been invited to the senior national team of Nigeria for the upcoming Unity Cup tournament in London, OwnGoalNigeria.com reports.
Head coach of the Nigerian team Eric Chelle will not include most of his regulars for the tournament later this month, clearing the way for the invitation of players who have been on his radar for a while.
Tijani has been a revelation for Czech Republic side Dukla Prague, the team he joined in the summer from Austrian side RB Salzburg. His form has reportedly led to interest from top teams in Germany and now the senior national team of Nigeria.
The 23 year old last represented Nigeria in 2020 under former coach Gernot Rohr, but he is now set for a return where a good performance will put him in the frame for the high profile friendly games against Poland and Portugal respectively in June.
” He (Tijani) was contacted by the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF), we are waiting for the next direction from them”, his representative revealed to OwnGoalNigeria.com.
