Exclusive: Abiola Dauda Targets Sweden Call - Up

Red Star Belgrade's Abiola Dauda acquired a Swedish Passport last week.<br /><br />The 25 - year - old striker, who arrived Sweden seven years ago, represented S&ouml;lvesborgs GoIF and Kalmar FF before signing a two - and - a - half - year contract with Red Star Belgrade just before the close of the winter transfer market.<br /><br />While Dauda is leaving his options open, he has admitted that he would love to wear the yellow jersey of Sweden if he is handed a call up by manager Erik Hamr&eacute;n.<br /><br />''I am not married to a Swede; lived in the country since 2006. It would be a great opportunity to play for Sweden if I am invited. But the Sweden coach is not in contact with me at the moment.<br /><br />''I look forward to the day I step on the same pitch with Ibrahimovic and Toivonen, representing the same country.<br /><br />''Though I have not closed the door on the Super Eagles, I guess things are done differently when it comes to playing for the national team. I don't know why I am being snubbed by coach Stephen Keshi,'' Dauda told <i>allnigeriasoccer.com.</i><br /><br />This past season, Abiola Dauda netted 4 goals in his last 8 games in the Serbian Super Liga.<br />
