Former Nigerian international, Jonathan Akpoborie, has advised the Interim Chief Coach of the Super Eagles, Samson Siasia, not to bother himself recalling retired Emmanuel Emenike to the team, but see how best he can use the services of Watford of England star Odion Ighalo to strenghten the strking force of the senior national team.
Effort by Siasia to recall West Ham player, Emenike, from retirement after he took over the job of the Eagles few days ago has met a brickwall.
The player who was loaned from Fenerbahçe in Turkey to the English Premier League club has rebuff the call to play for Nigeria once again.
“I think Ighalo is the right player that can be of help for the team now. I want Siasia to build his team around Ighalo who has proved himself to be a dependable striker.
“We have seen how Ighalo has been scoring goals for his English club. He has been doing this with proven professionalism. This is a player who scores conveniently outside the 18 yard box. He is going to add value to the Eagles now,” said Akpoborie, who spent most of his playing career in Germany.
