Omeruo targets Yobo and Enyeama's Super Eagles records

Nigeria and Leganes centre-back Kenneth Omeruo has expressed his desire to match the records set by Joseph Yobo and Vincent Enyeama during their time with the national team.

The former internationals hold the record of the most capped Super Eagles players with 101 appearances after featuring for the West Africans for more than a decade before their retirements.

Omeruo, who made his debut for the three-time African champions against Cape Verde in January 2013, has featured 52 times for the side.
