I’m excited to be here, it’s a great privilege to be invited. I want to appreciate the coach for the opportunity and I hope more NPFL players will get this opportunity,”

 

“I hope this Super Eagles invitation will increase the stakes of NPFL players.”

 

Anaemena was part of the CHAN Eagles that defeated Togo 2-0 at the Agege stadium during the 2020 African Nations Championship qualifiers in October.
