An ex-Manchester United player, Odion Ighalo has been tipped to play for the Super Eagles in Ghana vs Nigeria World Cup playoff later this month, interim coach Augustine Eguavoen had noted.
Nigeria and Ghana will clash in a two-legged World Cup playoff on March 25 and 29.
Reports is that Ighalo has worked with Eguavoen before.
The Al Hilal star was part of the Dream Team squad, coached by Eguavoen, that failed to qualify for the 2012 Olympic Games.
“Up there we have got Osimhen, Sadiq, and the experience of Ighalo. I also spoke with Olayinka as well. I know their qualities,” Eguavoen said to Elegbete TV Sports.
“Odion Ighalo last played for me in the U23s, but I have watched him play wherever he was, up to Manchester United and where he is now.
“We have to see him closely again, not that the door is shut for everyone out there, so this is only a game.”
