Hull City's Ola Aina eager to make international bow for Nigeria The youngster has been a regular for Leonid Slutsky this season SHARE COMMENTS BYWILLIAM JACKSON 15:13, 5 OCT 2017 SPORT Ola Aina of Hull City Ola Aina of Hull City SHARE Hull City defender Ola Aina is eager to finally make his international debut for Nigeria. Despite captaining England youth teams in the past, Aina pledged his allegiances to the Nigeria earlier this year, the birth place of his parents. However, despite being called up for the Super Eagles on several occasions, he is still waiting to make his senior international bow. The fullback has been in fine form this season while on loan at the KCOM Stadium from Chelsea and now he is looking to take that onto the international stage. READ MORE Hull City's internationals are clocking up the miles, but where are they and what are they playing for? Nigeria know a win against Zambia on Saturday will be enough to qualify for the 2018 FIFA World Cup finals in Russia next summer and the 20-year-old is keen to be a part of head coach Salisu Yusuf’s thoughts. READ MORE VOTE: After a poor start have Hull City fans altered their season expectations? ''I am very happy to be here to meet with teammates and also the coach. In the event of me making my debut I am ready,'' Aina told the Nigerian press. ''I've been watching Nigeria team for a long time now, it is very different obviously from where I've grown up. “I will be prepared and I will be ready to do my best for the team.''

chrisooblog: You are very correct. Most lower leagues are the hunting grounds of many big clubs and top leagues. But they will only harvest the cream of the crop. Ndidi was the creme de La creme at Genk and as such he left to greener pastures. The possibility exists if he can maintain his reasonably good start things can change and the once forgotten becomes front page news. 1 Like |

My Fears as Eagles-Zambia Clash I will not mince words in saying I am not comfortable with the feeling about Saturday’s game. We all are so relaxed and at ease. I am worried,really worried. It will be tasking on Saturday and we cannot just make an easy win. I can bet on that. We all got excited after the Cameroun win but hey, football can be funny sometimes. If we are all sincere, we had a below par performance at Yaounde and mother luck sailed us through with a draw. Then look closely at the Uyo encounter, I can say I am not convinced yet. For a while Cameorun had some good play over us. Saturday will not be easy. The Zambians are red hot….They were quite unlucky at Ndola. This is ganna be more difficult that Cameroun clash. I warned you all. We may not get more than a draw….. The South Africa game experience lingers……. Just a little out of the box….Abeg where Efe Sodje and Furo Iyenemi dey sef? We need them to back up our defence o..lol |

mumemma:Yeah,our performance was not up to par in Yaounde because the game was played 3 days after the Uyo game,Substitution of Mikel for Mikel Agu and Hugo Broos dropping his stars to the bench,thereby capitalising on the fatigue of our players by playing his star strikers in the second Half. This game is different because we now have Iwobi to replace Mikel and Zambia will start their stars in Uyo.So,we have all it takes to win the game in the first -half. 4 Likes |

Re: "The Super Eagles Thread: The Road To AFCON 2025 And 2026 World Cup by Icon79(m): 5:57pm On Oct 05, 2017 |
And that's my sentiments, exactly! When folks keep saying that this is not the same Zambian team we beat last year. My response: is this the same Nigerian team that beat them last year? Our team is definitely stronger. Not only are we fielding a much stronger squad (except for the goalkeeper) but most importantly the coach, Gernot Rohr, understands his team much better than he did last year. I expect a good win on Saturday. But that's not so say that I am not worried. O pari cicero13: 3 Likes |

How to beat Nigeria : defend and counter attack. Ghana knows how to do it. Am afraid, Zambia may adopt that |
