Ex-Arsenal Striker Chuba Akpom Eyes Super Eagles Call-Up
Former Arsenal striker and current Ipswich Town player, Chuba Akpom, has expressed his desire to play for the Nigerian national team, Super Eagles. Despite representing England at various youth levels, Akpom has failed to break into the senior England squad.
Akpom, who holds a Nigerian passport, revealed his readiness to join the Eagles, with his agent in contact with the Nigerian head coach, Eric Chelle. The striker expressed his willingness to honor a call-up from Nigeria and play for the national team.
This potential switch could bolster Nigeria's attacking options in international competitions.
