‘I’m not retired yet’, Ideye eyes Super Eagles re-call

‘I’m not retired yet’, Ideye eyes Super Eagles re-call

Aris Thessaloniki of Greece forward Brown Ideye says he has not yet retired from the Nigerian national team and will honor a call-up if being offered one.

 

The 31-year-old featured for the Super Eagles in the 2013 Africa Cup of Nations – scoring a goal against Mali in the semi-final, and also played a role in the Fifa Confederations Cup in Brazil.

 

The forward who last featured for the country in a World Cup qualification encounter against Zambia was asked in a live Instagram session on Brila FM if he would be interested in playing for Nigeria again and he said;

 

“Why not, I’ve not retired from the national team yet, so if I have the chance, for sure, I want to be called.”

 

The former Bayelsa United attacker who has netted seven goals this season for Aris before the current campaign was suspended due to Covid-19 insists he’s only focused on club football, adding that the only way to get a re-call into the national team is when he keeps banging in the goals.

 

“Am more focused on club football, without me doing well in my club, there’s no way I can get a call-up so I just want to focus on my club and make I do the right thing which is scoring goals and that’s the only thing that can make them notice me,” he added.

 

Ideye has 26 caps for the Super Eagles scoring six times.
