Lookman Delighted as Super Eagles coach Eguavoen Calls Him up for WC Qualifiers.

Leicester City forward Ademola Lookman has revealed his delight at being handed his first call up for Nigeria ahead of their 2022 World Cup qualifying fixture against Ghana.

The 24-year-old, who recently switched allegiance to Nigeria for his international career was elated when Nigeria coach Augustine Eguavoen named him in the provisional squad for the two-legged fixture against the Black Stars.

In January, Lookman, who is enjoying good form with the Foxes, had his request to switch international allegiance from England to Nigeria granted by Fifa.

“And so it begins, my first call up and can’t wait to represent my country,” Lookman wrote on his twitter handle. “See you soon Naija.”

Lookman was born in England to Nigerian parents and was eligible for the national teams of both countries.
