Bordeaux's Kalu Leaves Out Mikel, Moses In Dream Five-A-Side Super Eagles Team

Published: December 20, 2019

In a quickfire question and answer session with the Super Eagles Media Team, Bordeaux star Samuel Kalu revealed his dream five-a-side Super Eagles team.

Surprisingly, the winger opted not to include two players associated with Chelsea, Victor Moses and Obi Mikel, in his squad though they were very influential members of the last Super Eagles team to win an Africa Cup of Nations, with both named in the Team of the Tournament by CAF.

The first name on Kalu's teamsheet was Nigeria's most capped player in history Vincent Enyeama, who played alongside Mikel and Moses at the 2013 AFCON in South Africa.

The Bordeaux number 10 has a close relationship with Kenneth Omeruo on and off the pitch and the former Chelsea star was selected as a defender, while he named himself and Austin Okocha in midfield.

Ex-Newcastle star Obafemi Martins, who netted 18 international goals before he became inactive, was chosen to lead the attack.

With the exception of Omeruo, Kalu has not played together with the remaining three players named to his five-a-side team.
