” For now am focused on my club. I strongly believe if my form is good for Bologna, it will enhance my chances of making the Super Eagles squad” He told Owngoalnigeria.com.
” Every player wants to play at the World Cup and, hopefully Nigeria will qualify for the next one in Russia, where am hoping to make the team on merit by doing well for Bologna”.
