Owngoalnigeria.com can exclusively reveal that one of the players under consideration to be called up to the camp of Nigeria when it opens in France is Dutch-Nigerian forward Kingsley Ehizibue.
Ehizibue has represented Netherlands at youth level, but the 21 year old PEC Zwolle forward has agreed to switch allegiance to Nigeria, just like his fellow Dutch-Nigerian counterpart Tyronne Ebuehi.
They both share same agent, and coach of the Super Eagles of Nigeria Gernot Rohr succeeded in convincing the winger, who can also play as a full back to switch allegiance to Nigeria.

Rohr views the enterprising winger as a player who will help booster the forward options at his disposal at the moment, especially in the area of building young players for the future.
