Head coach of the senior national team of Nigeria Jose Peseiro is still searching for a solution to the goalkeeper crisis that the team is suffering from ahead of the start of the Africa Cup of Nations in Cote d’Ivoire next year.
Peseiro has openly defended first choice Francis Uzoho who has been guilty of making costly errors. However behind the scene the coach is working on other options who will be an upgrade on the Omonia Nicosia goalkeeper.
One of the goalkeepers who have caught his attention according to what we exclusively gathered is Doma United shot stopper Kingdom Osayi after his tenth clean sheet in 12 games this season in the Nigeria Premier Football League.
Yesterday’s clean sheet away to Kwara United in Ilorin was communicated to the coach, who has now posted someone to monitor and report the performance of the shot stopper who also has two assists this season.
The idea is to see if he has what it takes to challenge the goalkeepers in the team at the moment and an invitation will be made if the report is positive. A spot in the sqaud for the Africa Cup of Nations is a huge possiblity.
