Bordeaux number ten Samuel Kalu has revealed that the player that he gets along with the most in the Super Eagles setup is Arsenal star Alex Iwobi.

The versatile winger has admitted that he was flattered to be handed a call-up to the national team after the 2018 World Cup after he was snubbed during his time in Belgium with Gent.

''I was very flattered to be called by Rohr to play with the Super Eagles. It was a long time since I expected that, '' Kalu was quoted as saying by Girondins4ever.com.

''The invitation did not come while I was in Gent, I told myself that I needed to work even more. ''

He added : ''I was very well accepted and get along very well with my teammates, especially with Alex Iwobi.

''We have a lot of quality players on the pitch, I am confident that we can with the Africa Cup of Nations in June.''

Kalu, 21, has started all the competitive matches played by the Super Eagles since the end of the 2018 World Cup, against Seychelles, Libya (2) and South Africa, and has been directly involved in three goals.
