Austrian-Born David Osagi Aims for Super Eagles Call-Up
David Osagi, an 18-year-old footballer born in Austria, is eager to join Nigeria's national team, the Super Eagles. He currently plays for a lower division club in Austria, where he scored 35 goals last season.
Osagi's commitment to Nigeria is deeply rooted in his upbringing, as his parents instilled a love for the country in him from a young age. He has been inspired by Nigerian football icons like John Obi Mikel and Victor Osimhen.
Osagi's ambition to play for Nigeria dates back to when he was 10 years old, and he hopes to be part of the U-17 national team. Despite his impressive performances, he feels overlooked by the Nigerian football authorities.
He aims to contribute to the Super Eagles' success and is motivated by the prospect of partnering with Osimhen in the attack. Osagi's journey is set to continue as he prepares for the U-20 FIFA tournament and the CAF qualifiers next year.
