Ikpeba Wants Saka To Play For Super Eagles by robosky02(m): 2:25pm On Jul 08, 2020
Former Super Eagles forward Victor Ikpeba has waxed lyrical about Bukayo Saka and wants the Arsenal youngster to play for the three-time African champions at the international level, reports Completesports.com.

Saka has come in for huge praise this season following a number of impressive performances for the Gunners.

The 18-year-old recently signed a new long-term deal at the Emirates and has since celebrated with a goal and an assist in consecutive games.

Born in Ealing, Saka has Nigerian parents and is therefore eligible to play for the West Africans.

The versatile winger will however have to apply for a change of nationality should he decide to switch allegiance having represented England at youth level.

He already has four goals in 10 appearances for the England U-19’s.

Following another superb display for Arsenal in Tuesday’s 1-1 draw against Leicester City at the Emirates Stadium, Ikpeba, a member of Nigeria’s 1994 Africa Cup of Nations winning squad is eager to see Saka play for the Super Eagles.

“Watching the Arsenal Vs Leicester City game and I think Gernot Rohr should invite Bukayo Saka to the Super Eagles camp once the paperwork have been concluded,” Ikpeba tweeted.

Super Eagles head Gernot Rohr coach made it clear in an interview with ESPN in June that Saka will need to make the first move, as Nigeria will not come begging for his services.

The likes of Joe Aribo of Rangers, Semi Ajayi of West Brom, Viv Solomon-Otabor of CSKA Sofia, Josh Maja of Bordeaux, and Ola Aina of Torino are all current Nigerian international who were all born in England, specifically London.

Meanwhile, Saka’s former Arsenal team-mate Alex Iwobi and Chelsea’s Victor Moses were born in Nigeria but raised in England and both represented their adopted nation at youth level.

If he likes his international football career he should play for Nigeria. Nigeria worship players who are doing well in foreign clubs, so he'll have an automatic shirt waiting for him.

But if he chooses to play for the English, they'll just bring him in as a substitute in one of their useless friendly match and seal his fate.

he will never be selected for any major tournament for England...a word they say is enough for the wise.

Mtcheew.... This boy will be a capital fool to yield to such advances from the most useless country in the whole world.

Saka I don't know if you are reading this or will read this. If you will read this son... Listen to this advice from a surviving soul in this animal kingdom called Nigeria;

"Never you in your life switch allegiance to come and play for this hopeless country of derelicts and corrupt souls. Nigeria is a very terrible country that hates her citizens and suppresses the common man till death. Please swear allegiance to England and play for them. Even if you didnt succeed, your children will be forever respected and adored as the children of a legend who played for the lions.

Please secure your future playing for England. If you play for Nigeria, they will never appreciate you and you will not get rewarded for your sacrifices. Do not allow your talent to be used by the useless Politicians in Nigeria who are evil, devilish and demonic."

Its only in Nigeria that dead soldiers are forgotten immediately they die like animals. Even their wives must sleep with a high ranking official or accountant to get the allowances due to their husband.

Make this mistake and be sad for life!

Ikpeba have been affected by the ability to see nearby objects. And that's why he can only see distant objects clearly. What's wrong with our homegrown?

And why did he not help Arsenal to get to the top 4 of the EPL? It's now world cup that he and these youngsters will help us win. Are they better than the players we've had in time past? We always seem to rush any player that has any link to Nigeria without fixing our real problems.
