STEPHEN KESHI Wants Sam For Brazil 2014 Qualifiers - Supersport
Published: December 03, 2012
Super Eagles head coach, Stephen Keshi is keen to add Sidney Sam to his side for the 2014 Fifa World Cup qualifying games.
The Bayer Leverkusen winger, in spite of having declared his interest to play for Nigeria after representing Germany at Under19, 20 and 21 levels, will not be eligible to feature at the 2013 Africa Cup of Nations in South Africa.
Keshi, 50, told supersport.com that it will be good to add the 24-year-old to his team for the World Cup qualifying games next year.
"Sidney won't be part of our plans for the Nations Cup in South Africa. We know why because that looks impossible now. But I'll always consider him for the World Cup qualifiers as we need every top player at top levels, who show commitment, in the team to help our campaign.
"He has said he wants to play for Nigeria and that shows he is ready to commit himself. I pray the federation (NFF) gets him cleared in time too," said Keshi.
