Newly invited Super Eagles defender, Jordan Torunarigha has revealed that he’s ready to prove his worth if given the opportunity to play against Sao Tome in Sunday’s 2023 Africa Cup of Nations qualifier.
Having made 31 appearances for Germany from U-15 to U-21 level, Torunarigha, then switched nationality to Nigeria, in a bid to follow in the footsteps of his father Ojokojo Torunarigha, by donning the colours of the Nigeria senior national team.
However, in a chat with NFF TV, the Gent defender has described the mood in the Super Eagles camp as peaceful.
He also noted that the duo of William Troost-Ekong and Jamiu Collins have made it easy for him to gel with the team.
“It is nice to meet the players and I think all of them are really nice people. It is also nice to train with big players like Osimhen and Chukwueze.
“Captain Troost-Ekong and Collins have really helped me to find my spot in Eagles. This is my first call up and I hope I will be given time to show the fans who have been criticizing me for denying Nigeria all through what I am made of. I am a young guy and I want to show Nigerians what I can offer.”
