A shock name that could make the Super Eagles list for the AFCON 2019 Qualifiers in November against South Africa is on loan Liverpool forward Seyi Ojo, Owngoalnigeria.com can exclusively report.
Ojo is presently out on loan to French Ligue 1 side Reims where he has made seven appearances in Ligue 1 for the modest side following his loan move in the summer from Liverpool, where he was also farmed out on loan last season to Fulham.
21 year old Ojo openly confessed his readiness to dump England where he made 43 appearances for the various youth ranks of England from U16 to U21 if he gets called up to the senior national team of Nigeria by coach Gernot Rohr.
Rohr is keen on having a left footed winger in the Super Eagles hence he is open to the idea of seeing Ojo at close quarters in training with the Super Eagles ahead of their next competitive fixture against South Africa.
His switch will however require international clearance due to the games he has played for England and as at the time of filing in this report, we couldn’t ascertain if the process has been initiated by the Nigeria Football Federation ( NFF) .
