As reported by lasprovincias.es, the Nigeria Football Federation
(NFF) has sent a fax to in-form Levante striker – Obafemi Martins,
inviting him for the Super Eagles’ friendly with Venezuela at Marlins
Park Stadium, Miami on November 14.
Reports coming out of Spain further disclose that Stephen Keshi has
listed the ‘weapon of mass destruction’ in his provisional squad for the
friendly against the South Americans. Barring any last-minute changes
to the list, the former Inter Milan forward will play his first game for
Nigeria after more than two years away from national duty.
Though Martins has accepted Keshi’s invitation, his priority is to
focus on his club career with Levante. Nevertheless, he is aware that
the Eagles gaffer is keen on taking him to the African Cup of Nations in
South Africa if he impresses at the exhibition game against Venezuela.
The 27 – year -old forward has netted two goals in four appearances
for Levante in the Primera División. His last international game was
against Guinea in October 2010.
