2018 World Cup: Gernot Rohr confirms addition of German born goalkeeper to Super Eagles

Super Eagles coach, Gernot Rohr, has confirmed that 18-year-old German-born Fortuna Dusseldorf ‎goalkeeper, Maduka Okoye will be available to him ahead of the World Cup.

The Super Eagles are still searching for goalkeeper after the first choice, Karl Ikeme was hospitalised with Leukaemia.





The Franco-German coach who is in Russia for tomorrow’s World Cup draw told Own Goal that he will add Okoye to his pool of players next year when they play their friendly games.

He said, “There’s another goalkeeper we have in our sight now. He plays with Fortuna Dusseldorf in Germany, Maduka Okoye, born in Germany but has agreed to play for Nigeria.

“We will look at him in the coming games to see if he will be able to push for a spot in the team we are preparing for the World Cup.”

Born in Germany to Nigerian parents, Okoye is yet to man the goal for the first team of the second division team in Germany, and only made his debut for the U23 in October.

can you hear yourself You using an alternate account to beg on an anonymous platform. So when you get the money, you can close this account like nothing happened.

Yes

I love dis man. strictly business.

Well dobe

The young man isn’t ripe for the Eagles.

At 18, and not even the first choice keeper for his bundesliga 2 side. I think he is not ready for the big stage. If he is passionate about playing for Nigeria, he should come to the Flying Eagles camp and prove himself.

We should be careful of relegating our local league and giving so much privileges to European players of Nigerian descent. Playing for some unknown team in Europe shouldn’t automatically qualify one to be invited to the Eagles camp.

Very happy this man is looking to bring in foreign born/foreign bred players.

They tend to be more technically apt.

But I would really love to see Vincent Enyeama with the Super Eagles in Russia.

We now have a coach..

Light skins...

Go ahead coach

Wón tú ti bèrè.

















Those players wey no play qualifier don start coming abi?

Great news.

When we choose to use Merit in our affairs, Nigeria does well.
If only it could be so in politics and leadership

Good one

We are going to have great team soon if this man continue to be in charge with free hands to do with work

I was just lying on my mat, then I imagined what would happen if Nigeria wins the world cup

Haven't you seen the local goalkeepers play for the National team? They always make funny mistakes!

Cool dude

Also Obafemi Martins

Troost Ekong and Leon Balogun have a strong competitor for their starting lineup place for the ladies heart champion's league
