Tremendous Eagles head coach, Eric Chelle, has defined why he isn’t eager on bringing in additional foreign-based gamers.
In an interview with Nigerian soccer legend Dr Segun Odegbami on Eagle7 103.7 FM, Chelle mentioned any new participant he brings in, should be higher than the likes of Victor Osimhen, Ademola Lookman and Samuel Chukwueze.
He mentioned:”It’s tough so as to add extra international gamers to the Tremendous Eagles.
“(We now have) gamers like Ademola Lookman, Samuel Chukwueze, Wilfred Ndidi, Victor Osimhen.
“If as a coach you wish to add to those gamers, then whoever is coming should be higher than them.
“Folks ship me messages that there’s a participant in several international locations. However my participant is Osimhen who scores three objectives per week.
“I nonetheless request for his or her movies and nonetheless don’t give a solution, as a result of the truth is that we have now the gamers presently.”
Chelle’s feedback come weeks earlier than Nigeria play Gabon in a 2026 World Cup qualifying playoff recreation in Morocco.
If the three-time African champions win that recreation, they may then face DR Congo or Cameroon for the slot within the intercontinental playoffs.
