South Africa national team coach Stuart Baxter will be monitoring from afar with keen interest when the Super Eagles lock horns with the Togolese national team in an international friendly in Paris on June 1.

Baxter is interested in this fixture because Bafana Bafana will trade tackles with Nigeria in a crucial African Cup of Nations qualifier in Uyo nine days later.

The former England U19 manager has dispatched a Manchester United scout to run the rule over the Super Eagles stars in the friendly against the Hawks at Stade Municipal de Saint Leu La Foret in Paris.

A representative of Manchester United was spotted at the Hive Stadium when Nigeria faced off against Senegal two months ago.

The Super Eagles will confront Islanders Corsica tonight, starting from 2000 hours.
