The striker with 22 goals last season fears his career at the Super Eagles is over after his recent snub By Finidi

The one area where Nigeria’s senior team is well equipped is in attack, with as many as six players in the squad recording impressive numbers for their respective teams in Europe last season. Own goal Nigeria.com reports.

This has resulted in many players in their prime not getting the chance to play or not getting enough minutes even when they have been called up. The team’s coaches in recent times have opted for the quartet of Victor Osimhen, Paul Onuachu, Terem Moffi and Taiwo Awoniyi.

Recently, the duo of Victor Boniface and Cyriel Dessers have joined the team, not forgetting Sadiq Umar, who has been present for the past two years and played at the 2021 Africa Cup of Nations in Cameroon.

Dessers, who has four caps for Nigeria, enjoyed a fantastic season when he last played for Scottish side Rangers, with 22 goals to his name in all competitions, a form which has sparked interest from teams across Europe and Greek champions PAOK are rumoured to be top of the list for his services.

However, his international career suffered a blow when he was left out of the squad that played the final round of matches during the international break, where they were defeated by Benin Republic 2-1 after a 1-1 home draw in Uyo against South Africa.

“I was very worried because I worked with the coach in the first two games, he managed the game and even scored. I was hoping to play, but it’s Nigeria, where we have a lot of options, and the latest snub made me feel like it was all over for me,” he said.

Goodbye Emmanuel
