Yakubu Aiyegbeni Identifies Midfield Deficiencies in Super Eagles Squad for AFCON 2025

Former Nigerian footballer Yakubu Aiyegbeni has pointed out the lack of a typical midfield in the current Super Eagles squad for the upcoming AFCON 2025 in Morocco. The team, seeking its fourth continental title, includes players like Wilfred Ndidi, Alex Iwobi, and Frank Onyeka.

Aiyegbeni emphasized the need for a midfield that can control matches at the highest level. Meanwhile, young talents like Ebenez Akinsanmiro have made the squad, with former captain Sunday Oliseh also commenting on the team's defensive orientation.

Notably, past Super Eagles members like Mikel Obi and coach Stephen Keshi have been part of successful AFCON campaigns.
