In-form Super Eagles forward Simeon Nwankwo has expressed his intention of playing for the Nigeria national-team again after contributing to 10 goals for his club in his last six appearances in the Italian Serie B.
Nwankwo was the back up striker for the Super Eagles at the 2018 FIFA World Cup in Russia but has since been overlook by the Technical crew led by Gernot Rohr.
Ighalo is guaranteed a spot on the Super Eagles 2019 Africa Cup of Nations roster, but there are still positions up for grabs and Simy believes he’s in contention to be on the plane to Egypt.
”It is always a dream playing for the Super Eagles but for that to happen I have to focus on doing well for my club so that’s what I am focused on doing now,” he concluded.
The former Gil Vicente FC man featured in two matches off the bench during the 2018 World Cup and was on target in an unofficial game against Liberia in September 2018.
