England, Nigeria Or Uganda? Arsenal Young Star Reveals National Team He Wants To Represent
Published: September 19, 2019
Arsenal goalkeeper Ovie Ejeheri has chosen to commit his international future to Nigeria, rather than Uganda and England.
The Hale End Academy product was in contention to be called up to train with the Golden Eaglets but he's currently undergoing rehabilitation from a small tear in his medial meniscus.
Speaking through his representative Segun Jegede of Utmostt Sports Management London, Ejeheri told allnigeriasoccer.com : ''I was born in Greenwich, London and I'm eligible to represent Nigeria, Uganda and England.
''I hope to play for the Nigerian National Team some day if the opportunity arises. It would be a great privilege to win international trophies with them''.
Ejeheri, who has been described as a goalkeeper with consistency in his handling and timing, has revealed that Italy great Gianluigi Buffon is his role model and spoke about Arsenal's plans for him.
''I am a good shot-stopper with a lot of confidence and I control my back line very well, I like the way Buffon plays but I wouldn't say I play like him, I am Ovie Ejeheri.
''Arsenal is a very structured club with detailed plans for each of the players in the academy system.
''I am being prepared for what will surprise a lot of people in the football industry.
''I have been at Arsenal since age five, I am happy to be part of such a big and successful club,'' he concluded.
Ejeheri is a first-year scholar at Arsenal for the 2019-2020 season and could be offered a professional contract in the coming years if he impresses the academy coaches.
