I doubt Ehizibue will get into the team, though. Holland is in a bad position as regards world Cup qualification and he has not been considered for the team.
Why do you think so?

Ehizibue seems better than Ebuechi.

Ehizibue plays more of right winger these days. Ebuehi is versatile and can play left back and right back.

Ehizibue is also versatile and can play as right back.

Well, let us see what he brings to team.

When an AMF is played in an advanced position he becomes a SS.
Then the formation becomes a 4-4-2.

That is the beauty of the 4-5-1 formation. It allows u to switch to 4-4-2 or 4-3-3 even without necessarily making a substitution.

Iheanacho naturally likes to drift into striking positions even when played as an AM.

That was part of the issues he had with the Manu 2015 U20 team. In that Brazil game Manu set up a 4-4-2 formation, with Awoniyi and Success up front. Iheanacho was meant to play behing the duo but instead drifted forward a lot to join in the attack thereby making us play 4-3-3. That created a gap at the midfield which now mounted pressure on our defenders. We conceded 4goals.

Next game Manu started Sokari ahead of Iheanacho. Sokari brought more midfield presence. Also Saviour Godwin came in for Success adding also more to d midfield and wings play which is typical of 4-5-1.

The 4-5-1 is always safer than the more adventurous 4-3-3 or 4-4-2.

Right back and right wing.. We do not need him for right wing.. A left back and a right back is more valuable.

Ebuehi and Ehizibue have the same agent so he might have been influenced by Ebuehi's experience.

Saviour Currently plays for a Belgium club K. S. V Roeselare. His career has not really progressed as much as expected. Anyways, he is still 21. Lets continue to watch.

While Sokari plays for CS Sfaxien of Tunisia. Not doing badly with his Tunisian club. But more is expected from the 22yrs old nicknamed new Iniesta who fell out of favor from fans on this forum for keeping Iheanacho on the bench for most of the 2015 WYC.

Exclusive: Rohr Calls Up Ehizibue As PEC Zwolle Ace
Declares For Nigeria Ahead Of Holland, Germany

Hot on the heels of the capture of players of
Nigerian descent born in England, coach of the
Super Eagles Gernot Rohr has also secured the
services of Kingsley Ehizibue.
Rohr held productive talks with the Dutch youth
international, and the winger who can also play
as a right back has accepted to pledge his
international future to Nigeria ahead of the
Netherlands and Germany.
Born to Nigerian parents in Germany, the 21
year old moved to the Netherlands at a young
age, and progressed through the ranks of PEC
Zwolle before breaking into the first team last
season.
Ehizibue will most likely make his debut for
Nigeria in one of the proposed friendly games
against Corsica or Congo DR in May, before the
Eagles AFCON 2019 qualifiers Against South
Africa in June.
He will team up with fellow Dutch-Nigerian
Tyroone Ebuehi of ADO Den Haag as Rohr
continue to bolster his options at right back.
Ebuehi and Ehizibue share the same agent, but
they will turn to rivals in the Super Eagles as
they are both right full backs.http://owngoalnigeria.com/2017/03/31/exclusive-rohr-calls-up-ehizibue-as-pec-zwolle-ace-declares-for-nigeria-ahead-of-holland-germany/

For Next Friendly - Report
Published: March 31, 2017
[b]PEC
Zwolle
winger
Kingsley Ehizibue is in line to be called up
by Super Eagles coach Gernot Rohr for a
proposed friendly against French Island
Corsica in May.
“Rohr has promised to call up Kingsley for
the Corsica friendly after he was
impressed with what he has gathered
about the player,” a source informed
scorenigeria.com.ng.
“He would have even been invited for the
London friendlies but it was a little bit
late.”
Incidentally, Ehizibue shares the same
agent with ADO Den Haag defender
Tyronne Ebuehi, who was part of the
Eagles squad to London but has yet to be
capped by Nigeria.
Ehizibue is 21 years old and was born to Nigerian parents in munich Germanyhttp://allnigeriasoccer.com/read_news.php?nid=22564

Nigerian Wonderkid Scores Historic Goal As
Sunderland Qualify For First European Final

Published: March 31, 2017
Sunderland have advanced to the final of
Premier League International Cup after a
1-0 win over Norwich City at Carrow Road
on Friday night.
Sweden U21 international of Nigerian
descent Joel Asoro scored what turned out
to be the game-winner in the 13th minute.
The attacker’s penalty appeal was
dismissed in the third minute but he wasn’t
kept at bay for so long as he met a pass
and slotted under Oxborough for the only
goal of the encounter.
On 57 minutes, Asoro had an opportunity to
double the Black Cats advantage but could
not execute his piece of skill.
Super Eagles late invitee for the recent
get-together in London, Josh Maja, was
introduced in the 88th minute, attacking
midfielder Diallang Jaiyesimi came off the
bench for the Canaries with 15 minutes left
and his teammate Timi Odusina was an
unused substitute.
Following tonight’s win, Sunderland U23s
became the first team since the formation
of the club to qualify for a European final.
Sunderland will face Musa Yahaya’s FC
Porto in the final.

Siasia dropped Sokari from the Olympics for disciplinary issues. I never rated him to be honest. He was hyped beyond his true abilities.

Another player overhyped was pygbara. He could not validate the hype at a higher level.

Sokari should be on the verge of a move to Europe. He has been eye catching so far in Tunisia and the word is that they are ready to cash in.
Lately Saviour lost his spot on his club's starting 11 because of injury added to the form of his replacement. The good thing is that they stand a good chance of being promoted to the Belgium top flight.

There were rumors in December about a possible interest from Metz but I do not know whether that was true. At the end of the season, we will see.

Savior started very well but has had lack of appearances of recent.

Best in what league? The same one that Mfom Udoh had just scored 23 goals in? At that time he wasn't even top 10.
He scored a cracker for his club in the super 6 and thats what caught Manu's eye. He was not with the team until after the super 6.

One of the best in the league. He was a midfielder before he became a striker so the hype was not from goals scored. He later became top scorer for Sharks when he became a striker. To say, he was not considered one of the best players in the league is not true. The article below lists him as one of the best players in the 2013-2014 season.

Torunarigha the son of ojokojo (former 3SC player). He is a huge physical presence, skillful and technical too. He is left footed and plays both LB & CB, he will be a good cover for Elderson. His older brother plays for oliseh's team -fortuna sittard- as a striker.

Uduokhai is a CB and can only be a deputy to Leon, Ekong, Omeruo.

Nevertheless, he will bring healthy competition to the team.

Note: he can also play as LB.
