.Begs Rohr for chance
Austria-based striker, Olanrewaju Kayode is unhappy over his non-invitation to the Nigeria national team for the upcoming international friendlies with Senegal and Burkina Faso in London later this month.
Super Eagles Coach, Gernot Rohr, has listed Germany based forward Noah Joel Bazee and Tyronne Ebuehi among 25 players to take part in upcoming matches.
23-year-old Kayode, who has played for the Under 17, U-20 and Olympic teams for Nigeria has scored 7 league goals, two in the cup and three in the UEFA Europa League so far this season for Austria Wien, is appealing to the national team selectors to consider him for future call ups.
“For a long time now, I have not been invited to the national team. But I know very soon, Coach rohr would look in my direction because my position remains vacant. I am ready to score for Nigeria, I am ready to score for Rohr, but all that can come through only if I am invited.
“Some people said I play in a far league, some said I play in the cold, some said I play in Austria and it is not English Premier League. But I will tell you football in La-Liga is the same in Austria. I played in the Europa League last season, so what experience do I need again. I have represented Nigeria at youth levels and my mates like Ogenyi Onazi and Kenneth Omeruo are the ones playing currently for now,” Kayode said.
