A hint on where Ovie Ejaria will fit in when he finally gets to play for the senior national team of Nigeria has been revealed to Owngoalngeria.com
Ejaria has been granted the all clear by world football governing body to feature for Nigeria after representing England at youth level after impressing coach Gernot Rohr.
The coach of the Nigerian team watched the on loan midfielder while on a tour of England and was impressed by the way he was able to come out of tight spaces during the course of the English Championship game with his loan side Reading.
After watching the 22 year old in action, the coach concluded that the Liverpool midfielder is different from the other midfielders in the team at the moment and hence his decision to approach him.
“ Ejaria won Rohr over with his dribbling abilities in tight spaces . When Rohr watched him he was convinced he has found a different kind of midfielder than the ones in the team at the moment”, a backroom staff of the team told Owngoalnigeria.com.
“ He is someone who can unlock tight defences with his dribbling skills . It’s important to have a player like that and we have Ejaria now . It’s really going to be interesting when International football returns “.
