Nigeria U23 handler Samson Siasia has revealed he would love to have Manchester City’s Kelechi Iheanacho and Liverpool’s signing Taiwo Awoniyi in his team for the 2015 African U23 Championship billed for Senegal.
Both players missed out of the All African Games where the country picked the bronze medal after their clubsides held on to them because the competition was not on Fifa calendar.
According to the former Super Eagles forward, having them in his squad would strengthen the squad as they aim to pick one of the tickets to represent Africa at the 2016 Olympic Games, while planning a warm up game against the Brazil U23 team before heading for the competition.
“We hope to play strong football playing nations like Brazil and any other country before we jet out for the African tournament in Senegal. This will prepare us well for the task ahead in Senegal,” Siasia told Goal.
