Super Eagles Coach Yet To Sound Out Germany U21 Star Kevin Akpoguma
About Representing Nigeria.
Fortuna Düsseldorf central defender Akpoguma remains
committed to Germany at international level amid speculations that he might be
called up for the World Cup qualifier against Zambia on October 9.
And contrary to those reports, the ex-Germany U20 skipper has not
yet been sounded about the possibility of pledging his international future to
Nigeria by new Super Eagles coach Gernot Rohr - in the first place.
Allnigeriasoccer.com reports that former Nigeria U23
international, Germany - based Darlington Omodiagbe, had earlier attempted to
convince Akpoguma to play for Nigeria but was unsuccessful, despite being close
to the player and his father.
“Kevin Akpoguma has not yet been contacted by the new Super Eagles
coach. He is in the best position to decide which country he wants to play for,
”Kevin’s uncle Isaac Akpoguma said.
Kevin Akpoguma was born in Neustadt an der Weinstraße 21 years ago
to a German mother and a Nigerian dad from Delta State but grew up in Benin
City.
He has caps for Germany’s U16, U17, U18, U19, U20 and U21 National
Teams, and he believes he still has a chance to play for the senior team if he
continues with this progression.
