Super Eagles manager, Gernot Rohr has come out to say that Eberechi Eze is considering Super Eagles switch. He recently revealed that the youngster is one of the best offensive midfielders he has ever seen in England.
According to him, he would definitely love to have the Crystal Palace player playing for Nigeria, and he has already contacted him.
Rohr added that Eze has told him he’ll think about it, so he won’t comment further until a decision is reached.
His words, “This is a wonderful player, Ebere Eze is one of the best offensive midfielders I’ve ever seen in England and I would like to have him with us, but you know that he can also play for England and already played for one team in England.”
“I sent him a message and in this message, I showed the interest Nigeria has to get him in this team so he replied and he said he has to think about it, so it is not the moment to speak too much about it.”
“There is a process to do, at first, the boy must accept and the decision must come from him, from his parents, from his own.”
“We cannot tell him he must come, he must come himself and if he wants to come he has to write a letter.”
“In this letter, he has to write to Fifa that he wants to switch and to play for Nigeria, this would be wonderful, but I know that we cannot force his decision and he can only take it himself.”
“What we do is to explain to him how we are working, to explain to him what we are doing, and what our objectives are – what we did with players like Alex Iwobi, like Akpoguma, we did with Ola Aina and Tyronne Ebuehi.”
“We have already some players like that, if we can have Eze it would be wonderful but it’s not easy.”
