“As long as he keeps playing and he’s on top of his game, of course he’ll get a call-up,” Agu told allnigeriasoccer.com.
”We are looking for good hands that will make Nigeria proud and he’s a Nigerian, who said we won’t look at him.
”We will monitor him, it’s good to hear, good to know. We will keep our radar on him and continue to monitor and pray for his progress.
”Honestly speaking, a Nigerian is entitled to play for the country no matter wherever he is as long as he lives up to standards, I’ll keep monitoring him,” the ex-international said further.
