Super Eagles coach Eric Chelle is targeting foreign-born players to strengthen Nigeria’s squad following growing interest from dual-nationality stars eligible to represent the country.
The Malian tactician has already secured commitments from defenders Felix Agu and Ryan Alebiosu, as well as Wrexham goalkeeper Arthur Okonkwo, and is reportedly in talks with five other eligible players.
According to recent reports, Rangers defender Emmanuel Fernandez has also pledged his international future to Nigeria, becoming the latest foreign-born player to commit to the Super Eagles.
“We have a couple of players who were born abroad, who want to play for the team and we are looking at how they will fit in. We can’t bring all of them into the team,” Chelle said in quotes shared by Super Eagles Supporters Club (@official_esclub on X).
We will however pick those that we know can bring competition to the team, improve the team and also fit our game project.”
