Head coach of the senior national team of Nigeria Eric Chelle has been very active in getting players of Nigerian descent pledge their international future to the team.
Since his appointment, Chelle has so far capped players with dual nationality like Felix Agu, Arthur Okonkwo, Femi Azeez, Ryan Alebiosu, Emmanuel Fernandez and George Ilenikhena among others.
The coach who insist that luring players with dual nationality is something that other African teams are using to good effect, has pledged to continue his drive to recruit the best legs available for Nigeria.
