Genort Rohr has turned attention to Swiss-born shot-stopper Sebastine Osigwe as he searches for a top class keeper for the Super Eagles.

Rohr was forced to make Uzoho his goalkeeper for the 2018 World cup after first choice Karl Ikeme was diagnosed with Leukemia in July 2017. The 32yr old Wolves goalkeeper eventually made his bow from football last month.

Rohr, who offered the retired shot-stopper a role in his coaching staff, have reportedly discovered SC Kriens star Osigwe as the man suitable to create competition with Uzoho for the role.

Osigwe despite playing in a minor league on the European continent seems to have caught the eye of the Super Eagle’s coach. Reports have it that Rohr considered inviting him for action in friendly games prior to the World cup.

Rohr, who has succeeded in drafting foreign based players such as Tyronne Ebuehi, Bryan Idowu and Ola Aina to the Nigerian team have promised to provide more opportunity for Nigeria-born players abroad.

It is believed that the manager lacks faith in Ikechukwu Ezenwa and Daniel Akpeyi though the duo made it to the last edition of the World cup. Ikechukwu Ezenwa was presume to take over Karl Ikeme after an impressive outing in the qualifying game against Cameroun. Ezenwa lost his spot after Elche loanee Uzoho replaced him in the 4-2 victory over Argentine in the friendly game.

Rohr confirmed to the media on Friday that he was monitoring the Switzerland junior international.

“Uzoho is our number one keeper and we have Ezenwa and Akpeyi but we are monitoring more keepers,” he said. “We are monitoring the keeper in Switzerland (Osigwe) and some other young keepers.” He added, “Uzoho is a good young keeper and people have said a lot of positive things about him. “I’m happy that he has left Deportivo La Coruna for Elche.”

Will Sebastine do better? We need someone solid as goal stopper

Where is Dele Alampasu?

Our 19 years old goalkepper did well at the world cup, stick with him.

Forget the age abeg and arguing on the topic
This is getting stale.
He said he is 19 so we have no option than to blive him.
U ain't his father

Nice one
He should also look into our local league for GK, I believe Enyimba fc has 2 good goal keepers that pushed Ezenwa to even 4th choice.

Interesting decision from Rohr.

How far with Victor Moses after giving his reasons for leaving

frbona:
not only 19,

if you are not his mother, be quiet.

englishmart:
see the primary school club he plays for. Fc Krien, or whatever it's called. They na which division that kain club dey?
Every Super Eagle player should be playing in the top flight division of their leagues.
Don't go bringing amateurs and bench warmers yo the national team

Better than Nigerian clubs... At least they don't go on 4months break

MrThisandthat:

Shortyy:

GODWINLOWSKI:

You need to read between the lines... clearly, the coach is seeking better back ups and maybe some competition for the number one spot, not necessarily that he wants to drop Uzoho.

nsesam:
Hope this Rhor isn't a recist, he's love for fair players is becoming alarming, just my observation oo

so, Samuel Kalu that he is calling is fair?

Uzoho too is fair?

Semi Ajayi, Jemiu and Simmy also fair? Name the fair players that Rohr has capped.

Don't forget that Ekong, Balogun and Ikeme were not capped by him. Aside Ebuehi, Rohr is not responsible for any other fair player on that team
