The former Liverpool star could earn his Super Eagles debut against the Wild Beasts on Thursday evening
Union Berlin star Taiwo Awoniyi has attributed his recent Super Eagles call-up to hard work and dedication.
Following his impressive goalscoring run in the German elite division – where he boasts five goals in seven appearances in the 2021-22 campaign – the 24-year-old was called up by coach Gernot Rohr.
Initially, he was not in Nigeria’s plans for the 2022 Fifa World Cup qualifiers against the Central African Republic, but an injury to France-based Terem Moffi necessitated the move.
