Hot on the heels of the decision of George Ilenikhena to play for Nigeria, the senior national team of Nigeria is set to add another striker to its ranks, OwnGoalNigeria.com can exclusively reveal.
Ilenikhena was born in Nigeria and raised in France, making him eligible for both countries but he decided to represent Nigeria at senior level and has already made his debut in the AFCON qualifiers.
He is now set to be joined in the attack by another player, who contacted the representative of coach of the Nigerian team Eric Chelle.
The player in question was born in the Netherlands to parents of Nigerian descent but hasn’t been capped at any level, making him eligible to represent Nigeria if called up.
Chelle has made it clear that he is open to having more players of Nigerian descent in the U23 and also the senior team. He is the coach of both teams.
We can exclusively reveal that Chelle has now set the wheel in motion for him to be exclusively scouted before making a final decision on calling him up.
