Tim Akinola, a young player for Arsenal, will be Nigeria's captain after Folarin Balogun expressed interest in playing for them internationally.
Despite being one of the continent's powerhouses and having just missed out on qualifying for the World Cup Ghana, the African nation will still rise.
Akinola is scheduled to play for one of their teams. Recently, they have targeted some English players who are of their origin.
According to a report on All Nigeria Soccer, the midfielder is expected to be picked to the Nigerian under-23 side for their encounter against Tanzania.
According to the report, he has been practising with the group for three days, and the match will mark his debut.
It is the dream of every footballer to play for their country and Akinola will be delighted with this invitation.
He is now close to playing for the Super Eagles of Nigeria because if he does well for their Olympic team, he will earn a promotion to the senior side.
Balogun has also indicated that he might honour an invitation to the Nigerian national team if he is called to wear their green and white jersey.
