Emmanuel Emenike has what it takes to become the best striker to have donned the green and white jersey of Nigeria according to John Mastoroudes, erstwhile technical committee member of the Nigeria Football Federation.
.
The Fenerbache forward has shone in recent outings for Nigeria and also scored vital goals as Nigeria bid to qualify for a fifth World Cup appearance in Brazil, prompting comparisons with late Rashidi Yekini, Nigeria's all-tme record scorer in international competitions.
.
Mastoroudes believes with a little bit of consistency, the bulky forward can get to the level of late legend.
.
"I have heard talks about the new and old Yekini.If Emenike wants to be compared to or rated better than the late Rashidi Yekini, he needs to prove it.
.
Prior to the African Cup of Nations in South Africa, he was not really finding the back of the net for Super Eagles but everything changed at the competition.
.
"For him to be considered the best, he needs to continue scoring on a consistent basis like he has done in recent times.
.
"Personally,I like Emenike, he is a strong player and he has the ability and quality to be a top notch striker," he declared.
