The inclusion of Sadiq Saleh in the Nigeria U23 team for the upcoming AFCON qualifiers games against DR Congo generated debates considering that the 20 year old plays in the second division in Latvia for Metta, OwnGoalNigeria.com reports.
His inclusion ahead of others who are playing in the top division in leagues rated higher than Latvia, made many to wonder the basis behind his inclusion and how he was scouted.
We can exclusively reveal that his goal return of 26 goals in 25 games which powered his team to promotion caught the attention of Chelle, who was short of options in attack ahead of the game.
His video compilation with all the goals convinced Chelle that he deserve to be given a look in, especially with the uncertainty around the invitation of Uchenna Ogundu from German Bundesliga side Augsburg.
Saleh is expected to join the rest of the team in DR Congo for the game later today. The contingent from Nigeria for the game arrived earlier today.
