AS Cittadella loanee, Theophilus Awua says he is looking forward to playing for the Super Eagles of Nigeria in the nearest possible future as ‘it would be an honour’ to play for the West African nation’.
In an interview with Sports 247, the Makurdi-born Midfielder admitted that it would be an honour to represent Nigeria and would love to play for Nigeria someday in the future.
“Playing for the national team is a dream for every football player and that is simply because if you love your country and also love football, you would want to play for the national team”.
“I grew up in Nigeria all these years and every opportunity I have, I will go back to the country as I have all my family members there, so playing for the national team is going to be an honour and I would love to play for Nigeria someday.
But I know that to get there, I have to work on myself and keep playing until I get to the Serie A or a top league somewhere else and I am working towards it and hoping that someday, I will get my chance”.
Theophilus Awua Makurdi-born midfielder is currently playing for Italian Serie B side, AS Cittadella on loan from newly-promoted Serie A club, Spezia Calcio.
