Newly invited Genk of Belgium forward Christian Akpan has taken to his social media page to validate our reports on his strong performances in training with the senior national team of Nigeria, OwnGoalNigeria.com reports.
The 21 year old defender was drafted in as a late replacement for Bright Osayi-Samuel who pulled out of the friendly games against Poland and Portugal respectively.
Akpan missed the game against Poland, which ended in a 2-2 draw but he is now available and has been involved in all of the training session in the build up to tomorrow’s game.
He took to Instagram to share a video of himself ghosting past his markers during yesterday’s training session. A run that he started from one part of the pitch and went past three defenders.
Like we exclusively reported he has left head coach Eric Chelle with a huge decision to make as he has been heavily impressed with the way Akpan has acquitted himself among the big boys of the team.
