Göztepe midfielder Anthony Dennis is among the players that head coach of the Super Eagles has included in his squad for the upcoming Unity Cup tournament in May, OwnGoalNigeria.com can exclusively reveal.
Chelle will use the tournament to give fringe players a spot in his team, and also talented players from lowly rated European Leagues with players from the Nigeria Premier Football League (NPFL) also included.
Dennis who made the preliminary list of the senior national team of Nigeria for the Africa Cup of Nations, but didn’t make the final 28 man list for the tournament has been turning heads since moving to Turkey in January 2023.
Villarreal see the 21 year old who is valued at €10m as an ideal signing to boost their midfield next season, with doubts lingering over the future of Thomas Party who hasn’t hit the heights expected of him when he joined in the summer on a free transfer from Arsenal.
He will be given a chance to stake a claim in the Super Eagles team for the high profile friendly games in June against Poland and Portugal respectively.
