Clint02:
One of the best offensive midfielders I've ever seen' - Rohr confirms talks with Crystal Palace's Eze


Published: April 23, 2021



Manager Gernot Rohr has confirmed that he is in talks with Eberechi Eze over committing his international future to Nigeria and had nothing but praise for the Crystal Palace star, saying he is one of the finest players in his position in the English Premier League.


Eze trained with the Super Eagles before a cancelled friendly against Burkina Faso in March 2017 but since then his status has changed as he is now provisionally cap-tied to his country of birth England and represented the country in the European U21 Championship last month.


Nigerian Federation president Amaju Pinnick has openly courted the former Queens Park Rangers dazzler but he requested to be given some more time to make his decision.


Though Rohr has admitted Eze is a player of interest, the German football tactician has stressed that the decision to represent Nigeria has to come from the player himself and he won't be forced to pledge his allegiance to the three-time African champions.


"This is a wonderful player, Ebere Eze is one of the best offensive midfielders I've ever seen in England and I would like to have him with us, but you know that he can also play for England and already played for one team in England," Rohr said to Elegbete TV Sports.

"There is a process to do, at first the boy must accept himself and the decision must come from him, from his parents, from his own.

"We cannot tell him he must come, he must come himself and if he wants to come he has to write a letter.

"In this letter he has to write to FIFA that he wants to switch and to play for Nigeria, this would be wonderful, but I know that we cannot force his decision and he can only take it himself.

"What we do is to explain to him how we are working, to explain to him what we are doing, and what our objectives are - what we did with players like Alex Iwobi, like Akpoguma, we did with Ola Aina and Tyronne Ebuehi.

"We have already some players like that, if we can have Eze it would be wonderful but it's not easy".


Just as Eze told Pinnick, the England U21 star informed Rohr that he needed more time to make a decision on his international future.


"I sent him a message and in this message I showed the interest Nigeria have to get him in this team so he replied and he said he has to think about it, so it is not the moment to speak too much about it," added Rohr.


Eze was involved in the three matches the Young Lions played at the 2021 European Championship and was on target in a 2-1 win versus Croatia.

To think about it till when,
he should let us know for how long we should give him to think,say like 3-6 months,if he still unable to make up his mind then we should forget about it.
That's the honourable thing to do.

What does it take to be a footballer? Once the guy can play well with or without a previous club side doesn't count. I don't see any scam here, unless they are trying to cheat the guy, Turkish clubs are known for that.

Watching ekong and watford and hoping they seal the promotion today

Even the club is stupid themselves to be scammed like that.

my boy Marcus with a brace

Troost Ekong will be playing in the EPL next season. A massive step up from Udinese.

Watford back in the epl

Congrats to ekong

We can now call it a good move and the risk finally paid off

Rohr to draw up 50-man list to work towards the world cup. No player outside the list will make it to the world cup. Good one from Rohr

Simy shoot, Simy scores

This is good planning but the list should be made public, extra ordinary player can still emerge from now till world cup date.

He has opened the flood gate of goals for the weekend, let's see who keeps up.

Simmy won’t stop and don’t stop

That guy definitely has to remain in the serie A or go to another team Very painful his goals most times are still let down by his team's defence

Simy goal vs Parma...

Crotone is hot garbage . They blew a 3-1 lead

This week's schedule was all over the place so technically those floodgates already opened on Thursday with Osimhen and Iheanacho.

really happy for him. epl will be a huge challenge for Ekong but if he can step up to it he will improve his defensive game which can only be good for the super eagles.congrats king Kong

Simy shoot, simy scores

Simmy with a brace

While Ekong is coming to the EPL, Ajayi and West Brom look likely to be going back to the championship

Norwich, Watford and probably Bournemouth are coming back..
Fulham and West Brom are going back

Thanks to Biiesla, Leeds are staying

I am tripping Bournemouth to take the last spot from the playoffs

Meaning the 3 relegated teams last season will be back

Isn't it too early, a hot player can spring up and some in the list may feel complacent

Wow! Simy 19 Seria A goals and still counting! Behind Ronaldo and Lukaku for the Seria A Golden boot!

Adam Ounas has rejuvenated that attack, good player

Most definitely. Algeria should start him more

In the history of the Serie A, much maligned Simmy Nwankwo is the over all best Nigerian striker ever to play in the Italian topflight with 29 Serie A goals and still counting, scored over 3seasons playing for the worst club in the division who can barely create goal scoring chances for their strikers

Obafemi Martins scored only 28 in 5 seasons playing for the best club in the division with the best creative midfielders the serie A could boast of during his time


I think Simmy deserves another look in

Simy Penalty (2nd goal) vs Parma...

Simy's movement is world-class
See how he deceived and stylishly evaded that defender
World-class!
