Millwall winger Femi Azeez has revealed that his biggest ambition is to win the Africa Cup of Nations with Nigeria, Completesports.com reports.

The 24-year-old also hopes to represent the three-time African champions at the FIFA World Cup in the future.

The former Reading player is equally determined to contribute more goals and assists for the Super Eagles.

“I want to score more goals, and have assists too. I would like to create more chances for the team. I want to play at the AFCON, and win the competition. It will also be great to play at the World Cup with Nigeria as well,” Azeez told reporters after his debut appearance against Zimbabwe.

Dream Debut For Azeez

Azeez enjoyed a dream debut for the Super Eagles, scoring twice in their Unity Cup semi-final clash against the Warriors of Zimbabwe

The talented winger swiftly put Nigeria in the lead after only five minutes, when he finished off a great team move with a left-footed rocket that goalkeeper Future Sibanda could not stop.

Azeez netted his and Nigeria’s second of the night in the 62nd minute after beating Sibanda in the box following another swift team move, with Otele finding Terem Moffi who then located him in the vital area.

Éric Chelle’s Demand Improvement

Super Eagles head coach Éric Chelle congratulated Azeez on his goal-scoring debut, but at the same faulted some of the things that Azeez failed to do.

“He scored two goals, I congratulate him, but he lost a lot of balls, so not happy with him even though he recovered some of these balls,” Chelle said after the game against Zimbabwe.

“I also asked them to do the high pressing for the whole.

wee should be rooting for world cup bro, Nigeria profile in africa is high, we should be competing international and not dealing with Zimbabwe and congo dr

The year Nigeria will win AFCON again will just be the year we are not expecting them to perform at all. Just like 2013. I'm tired of hyping the team only to end up in third place.

Watched him in the championship playoffs, I think he's good ... Good luck to you

Because of 2 goals wey u score against common Zimbabwe na wa

13 good years done pass u never see trophy and u say no be big deal u be Senegal? Na them suppose talk wetin u talk

Hmmm....waiting to hear what Osimen thinks about this. If you so happen to play alongside him and do not pass the ball to him in all cases you will be given th Lookman treatment. Our problem is not the players, our problem is the team.

Good job guy.

It's good the coach pointed out his errors and areas of improvement.

he wants to win the AFCON not just go there

No GLORY de AFCON, dear Azeez

At least he’s hoping to win something with Nigeria and as a Nigerian player you can’t only dream of World Cup if you’re yet to win AFCON.. good one boy. So help you God.🙏

Won only 3 Afcons in more than 45 years, It's a very BIG DEAL.
It's not a joke for a debutant to score 2 goals. Many players played for years and do not have just 1 Afcon goal.
Learn to appreciate good effort.

Tell us where you have ever shine before👎👎

Scoring two goals in a debut it's a great deal for a player anywhere in the world. No matter what you based your uninspiring attitude on the guy is a promising star. Some are saying over Zimbabwe is not a big deal but if Zimbabwe have won you will be furious. Remember even Benin and Angola have beating Nigeria when it matter most before.

Win afcon first, then the seriousness of world cup will begin.
As long as they haven't won afcon, then no seriousness.

Dem don come again bro ITK oya tell me the meaning of gangling and why he can’t be viewed as a striker ?

Yes we should be rubbing shoulders with the big boys of soccer..but apart from them Osimhen,these lower league players are making the super eagles look like an average team when compared with likes of Egypt, Cote D'Ivoire, Tunisia, Morocco n the rest.

1. I will not tell you anything. You have access to the dictionary to check and confirm whether you used that word in its right context. If you feel it was right, that's okay by me.

2. He can't be called a striker because he's not a striker.
