3rd choice GK barely have the chance to play unless the top 2 suffer injuries or a very terrible loss of form. As long as Akpeyi is comfortable being a reserve GK I don’t think there will be any need for a replacement

I care about the competitiveness of these so-called over-hyped African countries! If these are their top players then the Super Eagles have nothing to fear!
Some Europa teams are better than these teams you listed!
Also, the Senegalese Villereal guys don't even make the matchday squad. The Bayern guy is French!
How many of the Moroccan guys' start for their clubs nor are under-30 years?
Quality-wise, most African top teams' first eleven are not much apart.
ChrisKels:


Are you sure of what you just wrote, or are you saying this because you don't really know the names of these other players from other African countries? Senegal and Morocco still have about 9-10 players each in the champions league ooo while we only have Chuks and Zaidu who have spent more time on the bench than in the pitch. And the way it stands, only Senegal, Algeria and Moroccan players stand a chance of going home with a golden medal in this year's UEFA champions league. Most of our players are in the Europa league and conference league

Morrocco:-

• Zakaria Labyad - Ajax
• Oussama Idrissi - Ajax

Hamburg defender, Jonas David has revealed his desire to represent the Super Eagles of Nigeria at the national level.

David, in an interview with Omasports, said he has always kept close tabs with the Nigerian national team and the country as a whole. He said representing the Super Eagles will be a dream come true and will be an honour to his father, who is Nigerian.



Born in Hamburg, Northern Germany twenty-one years ago, Jonas Benjamin Chimezie David played in the city before being snapped up by the current Bundesliga 2 side.

Hamburg SV is one of Germany’s biggest clubs, in history and reputation, and also has one of the country’s biggest stadiums. This stadium has been home to David, who has played in every game this season after returning from a loan move last season. The 6’3” defender has represented the German national team at U-19 and U-20 levels and is one of the better-rated young defenders in the country.

David, like many other youngsters of Nigerian descent in Europe, said he will like to represent the Nigerian national team in the coming years, as he’s inspired by the many stories he has heard, and seen. “Of course, It is my goal (to play for the Super Eagles), it’s like a dream coming true. I mean, it’s the country of my father. I want to make him proud. I want to make my family over there proud. I mean to give something back. Of course, there are other ways but I think it’s also a good way to give them something back. I mean it’s, it’s a part of the family of my history, and it would be an honor to play for the Super Eagles with them. They have great players. I mean like in the Premier League and stuff they’re crazy players. It would be crazy to play next to them. Players like Iwobi, Iheanacho, Ndidi. Top players, you can learn so much from them. It would be a dream for me,”



He said his father had a discussion with him on representing the country and he was categorical about his desire to represent the Super Eagles. “We had discussed the topic, like some years ago, and I already told him like I want to go and play for Nigeria and he loved the idea. But somehow it didn’t work out but now, we will get a new chance maybe in the future. So, of course, he’s excited too and he will be good and in support, I think. Of course, he’s from Nigeria. He was born and raised in Nigeria, he loves football like, I think in Nigeria, they are crazy. “They love football like crazy, so he would love it too. I mean it would be fantastic for him to see his son playing for the national team. He will be so proud. “I mean, my dad’s from Nigeria and my mum is from Germany. We were raised in both cultures. Like the German culture and the Nigerian culture. We eat Nigerian food. We eat plantain, we eat egusi soup. We like it a lot, but also the German side you know. We were brought up both ways.”



Since joining SV Hamburg’s first team, Jonas Davids has featured in all of the Hamburg-based football club and has put up solid performances in all the games he has featured him. This has earned rave reviews in the media across Germany.


Over the years, Germany has had Africans represent “Die Mannschaft”. leading this list is Jerome Boateng with Ghanaian heritage and currently, Anthonio Rudiger of Chelsea who was born in Germany but has his roots in Sierra leone. Jonas Davids wants to follow in their footsteps and direction but not the same route as it concerns international football. He wants to represent the Super Eagles of Nigeria.

“There is Jerome Boateng who played in Hamburg and there is also another guy called Jonathan Tah, he is from Hamburg as well and he played for Hamburg. He played his first season at Hamburg and then he went to Leverkusen. They both play in the same position as myself and they look a bit like me so I look up to them and try to kind of follow their way, you know, I mean they, they have a big career, great players and I would love to go not the same way as them but in the same direction. They represented Germany but I want to play for the country of my father, Nigeria. “



Jonas may have been born and raised in Germany and has never visited Nigeria, but has very close ties with the West African country. He listens to a lot of Nigerian music, eats Nigerian food so well, and is very proud of his Nigerian name (Chimezie) as well.


I mean, my dad’s from Nigeria and my mum is from Germany. We were raised in both cultures. Like the German culture and the Nigerian culture. We eat Nigerian food. We eat plantain, we eat egusi soup. We like it a lot. The food is one thing but also, I mean the music, the dances. I mean, they’re like viral you know, it’s like Nigeria is a big county. When I was young I didn’t know that Nigeria is that big but when you get older you can see all the people there, like also like Naira Marley, I like his music. I heard he is the king over there. I see on Instagram how the people run behind his car on the street. It is crazy. I like Burna Boy a lot but I think he is also very famous in Europe as everyone knows him. Yes, he’s like a big big player in the music branch. But also Davido and Wizkid. I like Nigerian music a lot, I listen to it often. and I think the African vibes and music is getting more popular. I see now German white people dancing to these songs. (Laughs) it’s crazy. I think it’s, it’s a whole new era, you know like the African people with their talent they get.

Also because of Instagram and social media in general, they are heard now, you know, and in the past, fewer people knew that there is so much talent in Africa. Now everyone can see and it’s like, it’s crazy, because they’re going viral they dancing, they are singing so good. I like it. I’m listening to Burna Boy a lot, but for me like Burna Boy is the best Nigerian musician but I think everyone is different, but I also like Naira Marley because it’s doing like, it’s a bit like the London vibe, you know. I like it a lot. I am a real Naija boy. It is a big part of me.


Jonas says, while he hopes to get a call from Coach Gernot Rohr, the Nigerian national team manager, he would focus is on staying fit and continuing to do well at Hamburg with the hope of helping the club regain promotion to Bundesliga.

Quality-wise, most African top teams' first eleven are not much apart.

80 percent of the Moroccan players are starters while others like Taarabt, Idrissi, Labyad and Feddal see good minutes from the bench.

80 percent of the Senegalese players are starters too. Boulaye Dia was signed same time as Danjuma but he got injured, thankfully he has started light training. Nicolas just made his debut. Balo Toure has been starting at left back for AC Milan lately.

90 percent of those players(Morocco and Senegal) are under 26 years old.

Yea they are doing pretty fine churning out stars, but about that Adeyemi, Amoo is a better talent and plays more mature soccer. But while Germany is calling Adeyemi, our PHE master is overlooking Amoo

Amoo is not a better talent than Adeyemi. He is not even as good as Adeyemi. That Adeyemi is an icon in the nearest future. He uses both feet, even though he's left footed. He's faster, more skillful & a more technically balanced player.

First of all amoo is more of a false 9 or play maker or attacking midfielder like firmino. Karim adeyemi is a pure wing forward

Secondly adeyemi is not better. He is just better advertised. Time will prove me right. Amoo is a homegrown talent so it will take longer to recognize him but amoo is more creative, versatile and skillful.
I know him personally as my friend s in ibadan grew up with him and call me aburo wa

Since joining SV Hamburg’s first team, Jonas Davids has featured in all of the Hamburg-based football club and has put up solid performances in all the games he has featured him. This has earned rave reviews in the media across Germany.


Over the years, Germany has had Africans represent “Die Mannschaft”. leading this list is Jerome Boateng with Ghanaian heritage and currently, Anthonio Rudiger of Chelsea who was born in Germany but has his roots in Sierra leone. Jonas Davids wants to follow in their footsteps and direction but not the same route as it concerns international football. He wants to represent the Super Eagles of Nigeria.

“There is Jerome Boateng who played in Hamburg and there is also another guy called Jonathan Tah, he is from Hamburg as well and he played for Hamburg. He played his first season at Hamburg and then he went to Leverkusen. They both play in the same position as myself and they look a bit like me so I look up to them and try to kind of follow their way, you know, I mean they, they have a big career, great players and I would love to go not the same way as them but in the same direction. They represented Germany but I want to play for the country of my father, Nigeria. “



Jonas may have been born and raised in Germany and has never visited Nigeria, but has very close ties with the West African country. He listens to a lot of Nigerian music, eats Nigerian food so well, and is very proud of his Nigerian name (Chimezie) as well.


I mean, my dad’s from Nigeria and my mum is from Germany. We were raised in both cultures. Like the German culture and the Nigerian culture. We eat Nigerian food. We eat plantain, we eat egusi soup. We like it a lot. The food is one thing but also, I mean the music, the dances. I mean, they’re like viral you know, it’s like Nigeria is a big county. When I was young I didn’t know that Nigeria is that big but when you get older you can see all the people there, like also like Naira Marley, I like his music. I heard he is the king over there. I see on Instagram how the people run behind his car on the street. It is crazy. I like Burna Boy a lot but I think he is also very famous in Europe as everyone knows him. Yes, he’s like a big big player in the music branch. But also Davido and Wizkid. I like Nigerian music a lot, I listen to it often. and I think the African vibes and music is getting more popular. I see now German white people dancing to these songs. (Laughs) it’s crazy. I think it’s, it’s a whole new era, you know like the African people with their talent they get.

Also because of Instagram and social media in general, they are heard now, you know, and in the past, fewer people knew that there is so much talent in Africa. Now everyone can see and it’s like, it’s crazy, because they’re going viral they dancing, they are singing so good. I like it. I’m listening to Burna Boy a lot, but for me like Burna Boy is the best Nigerian musician but I think everyone is different, but I also like Naira Marley because it’s doing like, it’s a bit like the London vibe, you know. I like it a lot. I am a real Naija boy. It is a big part of me.


Jonas says, while he hopes to get a call from Coach Gernot Rohr, the Nigerian national team manager, he would focus is on staying fit and continuing to do well at Hamburg with the hope of helping the club regain promotion to Bundesliga.

Let him be invited to our under 23 team to access his performance and compatibility

he is really interested in playing for us for a long time even when Hamburg we’re still in the top flight

He is just finding his feet, and he was not with Hamburg when they were in the Bundesliga

The only thing Adeyemi does better than Amoo is pace. Amoo is stronger, more tricky, more creative and more cerebral for now

Amoo is actually faster. As fast as Insigne. Adeyemi is better though. Adeyemi is much more technical and with a better eye for goal. Amoo is still very immature in his game.

he was but didn’t play much and later left on loan

Of course he is finding his feet but already a regular this season and if he makes it to the bundesliga next season with Hamburg it won’t be bad giving him a chance

We mustn’t wait until he signs for Bayern before capping him
