Ukrainian-Based Striker Eyes Reunion With City Talent Iheanacho In Super Eagles

Zorya Luhansk striker Dennis Emmanuel Bonaventure is targeting a call-up to the Super Eagles in the new year.

The player’s intermediary, Leonard Maduabum, who is based in Ukraine, advised Super Eagles coach Gernot Rohr to monitor the progress of the former Nigeria U15 international.

He believes Bonaventure can strike a good understanding in the Super Eagles attack playing alongside other young players like Kelechi Iheanacho and Alex Iwobi.

“Any player that can survive the Ukrainian League can make it in the national team, ” Leonard said.

“Already he has played alongside Kelechi Iheanacho, Taiwo Awoniyi and the likes of them, so I see him getting on well in the Super Eagles if given the chance.”

Dennis Emmanuel Bonaventure is in line to face Manchester United in the Europa League on Thursday having recovered from injury, but it is assumed he will start from the bench if he is included in Zorya Luhansk’s 18-man squad.
