FC Midtjylland of Denmark striker, Paul Onuachu admits he is excited to finally get his chance in the Super Eagles, and promised that he will always give his very best anytime he is called upon to play for Nigeria, even as he also vowed to maintain good attitude, sports247.ng reports.
Onuachu is staying humble, after gaining lofty words from Eagles’ coach, Gernot Rohr before Friday’s Africa Cup of Nations final qualifier against Seychelles, as the towering youngster says he has only just started what he believes is a long and glorious journey ahead of him with the team.
The product of Sagamu, Ogun State-based lower division club, FC Ebedei, first made waves when he scored against Manchester United of England in the Europa League, but Onuachu insists he is yet to come of age.
Rather than feel that he has already arrived, especially after getting lofty comments from Rohr, Onuachu is keeping his head down and aims to speak with his boots, rather than go about boasting with his mouth.
However, the 24-year-old Onuachu, who has 14 goals for Midtylland this season in the Danish top-flight league, admits he hopes to replicate his club form any time he dons Nigeria’s green-and-white.
Onuachu said: ”I’m happy to be invited to the Super Eagles squad for the games against Seychelles and Egypt. I will do my best for my country.”
