Having played in the UEFA Champions League in the 2011 - 2012 season, former Oţelul Galaţi midfielder John Ibeh wants to represent the National Team of Nigeria.

Ibeh departed Galati in March to join Pandurii Târgu Jiu, helping them achieve their best ever finish in the Romanian League (seventh) in the outgoing season.

Speaking in a telephone conversation with allnigeriasoccer.com, Ibeh said: '' It would be pleasant if I receive an invitation from Coach Stephen Keshi. I played pretty well last season, even featured against some of the big teams in Europe in the Champions League, and I think I deserve to make the Super Eagles.''

The 26-year-old is now holidaying in Western Europe, but must return to Romania before June 14, the date Pandurii Târgu Jiu start pre-season training.
