NFF won’t beg Arsenal’s Saka to play for Nigeria - Pinnick

President of Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) Amaju Pinnick has insisted the country is blessed with talents and will not beg Arsenal starlet Bukayo Saka or any player to represent the Super Eagles.

The 18-year-old has been in fine form since breaking into the Gunners’ first team and this season he has become a key member of Mikel Arteta’s side.

The versatile forward has scored four goals and provided 11 assists in 37 appearances across all competitions for the Emirates Stadium outfit in the current campaign.

His sock has continued to rise following his eye-catching performances and recently extended his contract to ward off other clubs who are interested in signing him.
