Former Liverpool player, Jordan Ibe has reportedly expressed interest to play for the Super Eagles.The star had spurned earlier advances by NFF to enlist him too start playing for the Nigerian National team, but it seems he’s had a change of mind after the up turn in form for the national side and his falling out of favor in the Liverpool hierarchy.
Meanwhile, the possible invitation of Bournemouth star Jordon Ibe to the Super Eagles won’t be as fast as many have expected with Rohr admitting that competition is stiff in the attack of the team.
Ibe has indicated his willingness to play for Nigeria after initially snubbing overtures to play for the team, when he had his breakthrough at Liverpool.
However, his latest decision has been hailed by some Nigerians who view him as a positive addition to the firepower of the team.
But Rohr has said his inclusion will be based on merit. “We have options in attack, and if Ibe is truly willing to play for Nigeria then he will also be a part of the options we have in attack. He is a good player but other players in his position are not doing bad as well”, Rohr said.
“The idea is to select the best players for Nigeria at all time. We need our best legs to help our dream of going to the World Cup 2018, hopefully we will have the players we want for specific games”.
