Chuba Akpom Still Hoping to Play for Super Eagles After Years of Waiting
Ajax striker Chuba Akpom has once again expressed his strong desire to represent the Super Eagles of Nigeria, despite years of waiting for a call-up.
Since making himself available for selection, Akpom has yet to receive an invitation from the Nigerian Football Federation (NFF) or Super Eagles coaches, even as he continues to perform in Europe. Speaking to Oma Sports, he remained hopeful but realistic about his chances.
“I give my best every time. I’ve been waiting since 2019. I switched allegiance a long time ago, but if it happens, it happens. I’ll just keep working hard,” he said.
Addressing misconceptions about dual-nationality players choosing Nigeria only when England overlooks them, Akpom explained that many players simply didn’t get the chance to represent Nigeria from a young age.
“It’s not about choosing Nigeria because England didn’t call. Many of us grew up in England, played for their youth teams, and followed that path. But deep down, our roots are Nigerian,” he added.

Popular American wrestler, John Cena, has revealed the major factor behind his decision to undergo a hair transplant.
Reflecting on his wrestling career, Cena admitted he only became conscious of his hairline after repeated fan comments about it receding. The remarks eventually affected him and made him self-conscious.
“I want to be genuine with that audience. They told me to either fix it or shave my head. They pushed me to see my options,” he said. Cena underwent the procedure in November and returned for his retirement tour in January.
“Successful surgery, but I had to get out there and go. It wasn’t easy,” he added.
Al Nassr captain Cristiano Ronaldo has shared his thoughts on Joao Felix’s move to the Saudi club, saying the midfielder made the right call.
Felix, who recently joined Al Nassr from Chelsea during the summer transfer window, has seen his career take several turns since his breakout at Benfica. After a high-profile move to Atletico Madrid in 2019, he struggled to meet expectations and had loan spells at Barcelona and Chelsea.
Following limited opportunities under Chelsea boss Enzo Maresca, he was loaned to AC Milan earlier this year before sealing his switch to Al Nassr. Ronaldo believes the decision was a smart one, insisting it’s a better move for Felix than returning to play in Portugal. He said the 25-year-old chose the right path by coming to Saudi Arabia.
