Superliga leading scorer Eze open to playing for Albania after Rohr snub
Published: April 12, 2021
Albanian Superliga leading scorer Patrick Friday Eze has claimed that he would be open to playing for the Albania national team as he has been continuously overlooked by Super Eagles coach Gernot Rohr.
Eze is having an outstanding season at FK Kukësi, scoring 12 goals in the league and also found the net against Slavia Sofia in the first qualifying round of the Europa League back in August 2020.
The Kaduna-born attacker first made his name in Europe at Serbian Superliga club FK Mladost Lučani, ending the 2014-2015 campaign as the top scorer in the division with 15 goals.
Eze has no caps for the Nigerian national teams and the 1992-born player was not age-eligible to represent the country in the 2016 Olympic Games.
Speaking to our colleagues at Tirana-based television news channel Ora News, Eze said : "I never had the opportunity to play any category, I never played in any category for Nigeria.
"Of course if Albania call me I will come and happily play".
"Of course if Albania call me I will come and happily play".
Asked to name one team he wants to play for, Eze responded : For the respect of other clubs, all the clubs here are good, but my vision actually is to go to a better league and a better situation where I can express more of my talent.
"With much respect for Albanian teams but I intend to see much more."
"With much respect for Albanian teams but I intend to see much more."
The 28-year-old Eze previously had spells with clubs in Ivory Coast, Serbia, United Arab Emirates, Saudi Arabia, Turkey, Poland and Jordan before his switch to Kukesi last summer.
