In the spirit of patriotism, Osaze Urhoghide, a top defender for FC Dallas in the MLS, has indicated his strong desire and availability to represent his fatherland Nigeria, if called upon at anytime soon.
The 24-year-old strong and talented defender who previously played for Celtic in Scotland, has reportedly informed family and friends of his readiness to join the Super Eagles when the opportunity comes.
Known for his defensive prowess and counter-attacking ability, the Benin boy Urhoghide
is often compared to legendary Austin Eguavon. His versatility allows him to play various defensive roles, including defensive midfield.
With the Super Eagles’ defensive line facing stability issues, particularly with captain William Troost-Ekong’s advancing age and Samuel Ajayi injury-prone nature, Urhoghide’s inclusion could provide a valuable boost to the national senior team.
