Nigeria Hoping To Secure International Future Of Bohemians Star Akinade Ahead Of Republic Of Ireland
Published: May 21, 2016
The Nigeria Football Federation is monitoring the highly-rated Bohemians striker Ismahil Akinade, with a view to handing the young star a call up in the not too distant future.
The Irish Mirror claims that the officials of the NFF have made contact with Akinade regarding representing one of the national teams but have not firmed up their interest by contacting his Irish club.
Akinade was born in Ibadan 22 years before relocating to the Republic of Ireland, meaning there is a strong possibility that he could represent the European country if he is not cap-tied to Nigeria.
He started his career with the youth team of St Patrick’s Athletic before making moves to Bray Wanderers and Bohemians.
Ex-West Ham stopper Lanre Oyebanjo represented the U19 and U21 national teams of Republic of Ireland but has not won any cap for the senior side, meaning he remains eligible to defend the colours of Nigeria.
