Siasia picks Ighalo for Rio Olympics

Wednesday Feb 24, 2016. 09:48

Coach Samson Siasia has said he will pick Watford striker Odion Ighalo to score goals for him at the Rio Olympics in August.

The 26-year-old Ighalo will be one of three over-age stars Nigeria will pick for the summer Olympics.

“It is obvious that we will consider Odion because he is the only Super Eagles player playing and scoring goals in the Premier League,” Siasia told the local Sun newspaper.

“Everybody is looking at him and he is good boy, gentle and discipline.

“I can tell you that if he is in good shape when we want to go for the tournament, he will of course be one of the players we want to pick.

“We need somebody like him to score for us.”

Ighalo has scored 14 goals in the Premier League this season.

Incidentally, Siasia named the striker as his captain at the 2009 FIFA U20 World Cup in Egypt.

Not so sir, in the Olympics games, a country is eligible to field 3 senior team or overage players. So 9ja is no exception.

Siasia could go with Odion Ighalo, Mikel Obi, Musa or Victor Moses..
