Super Eagles Coach
handed first call up to Gift Orban, Victor Boniface and Jordan Torunarigha who recently switched allegiance from Germany.
left out Ahmed Musa in Super Eagles squad to Face Sao Tome and Principe.
shares some insights into what Torunarigha Orban and Boniface can offer the Super Eagles.
The centre-back has been called for the first time. He is the son of a former Shooting Stars player, Ojokojo Torunarigha who emigrated to Germany and played for Chemnitzer Fußballclub from 1991 to 1995 and scored five goals in 77 matches for the club.
Jordan Torunarigha had featured for Germany’s men’s Olympic football team.
Furthermore, he has featured in 10 games in all competitions for KAAGent this season with one goal and one assist.
Jordan will compete for a place with team captain, William Troost Ekong, Calvin Bassey in an area needing rebuild.
Gift Orban left the whole of Europe scrambling to know more about him after hitting back to back goals, hat-tricks in Belgium.
Arguably the best winter signing of last season, Orban caught the eyes of top teams like Tottenham, AC Milan and others.
Consistently scoring week in week out means it was just a matter of time before getting an Eagles Invitation.
Earlier in the year, the striker didn’t honour an invitation for the U23s in their Olympic qualifiers.
Orban already has two goals this season for Genk in Belgium.
The easiest way to describe him and what he offers is to use the words of his coach at Bayer Leverkusen, Xabi Alonso.
“Victor is not merely a proficient striker; he is a complete player,”Alonso said after the game.
Boniface fired a brace as Die Werkself beat Darmstadt 5-1 at the BayArena.
It was the striker’s second consecutive brace for Bayer Leverkusen.
The 22-year-old has now scored four goals and provided one assist in three league appearances for the club.
Victor Boniface brings extra competition to the striking department of the Super Eagles.
