The Three Dual-Eligible Players Rohr Should Consider For Super Eagles Games In MarchThe Football League season has provided both pundits, fans, managers and journalists with a lot of of thrills as well as subplots to build on, with the objects of attraction from different leagues doing all their bests to prove they are worth their weight in gold.

On a Nigerian perspective, the Super Eagles who are taking part in this year's AFCON tournament which kicks off in June will definitely be needing all the guile, skill, confidence and support they can get if they will match their 2013 performance at the competition.

Whether the team's veteran, John Mikel Obi will be involved for the competition yet or if Victor Moses, one of the star performers in that South Africa triumph rescinds his quit decision to get back with the fold is still not known.

With qualification now in the bag, the Seychelles game is viewed as a dead-rubber and serves Rohr well to tinker and try out new players and plans for his team before the main competition while the Egypt friendly also buys him time.

Below, we look at three players he might want to invite and observe at close quarters following their performances for their clubs so far..

Eberechi Eze (Queen Park Rangers): So much has been made of the twinkle-toed Eze who has lit up the English second-tier this term with his dashing style of play, finesse and nerve-shredding eye for goal.

He is one of the first names on Stephen McClaren's team list and that explains why he is so much revered at the club.

With four goals and four assists to boot, the creativity and end product he can bring to the Super Eagles front line is unquestionable.

Fikayo Tomori (Derby County): Tomori has grown from strength to strength since leaving Stamford Bridge for the Championship where he has thrived under the tutelage of legendary Blues ex-player Frank Lampard.

The Chelsea loanee has played 27 of The Rams 29 league games this season and has also turned out against Manchester United, Southampton and even his parent club this season in cup competitions, holding his own in each of those games.

Aged just 21, he is very much a younger option for the national team's central defensive positions where he can learn much from the experienced Leon Balogun and William Troost-Ekong.

Josh Maja (Bordeaux): Maja showed his talents in bountiful amounts during his time with Sunderland in the English League One.

The striker's tally of 15 league goals this season before his departure from the Stadium of Light is unlikely to be bested anytime soon.

He is quick, skillful, can hold off defenders and add to that predatory knack for finishing off moves and one might as well say he is a complete attacker.

He recently transferred from Sunderland to the French Ligue 1 and is in line for a baptism-of-fire debut against Marseille on Tuesday.
