Nathan Tella Hopes to Return to Super Eagles After Champions League
Bayer Leverkusen winger Nathan Tella is hoping to return to the Super Eagles squad after being left out since his debut in 2023.
The 25-year-old made his first appearance for Nigeria in a 2026 FIFA World Cup qualifier against Zimbabwe but hasn’t received a call-up since.
Speaking to Oma Sports, the former Southampton player made it clear that he’s not the type to demand a national team spot. Instead, he believes in proving himself through hard work.
“This is not for me to decide. I’ve never been one to say ‘I should be called up.’ I just focus on working hard and earning my chances,” Tella said.
With Eric Chelle now in charge of the Super Eagles, Tella remains hopeful that his performances will earn him another opportunity to represent Nigeria.
“If the new coach thinks I’ve done enough, I’d be happy to accept the call. If not, that means I have to work harder,” he added.
Morocco coach Mohamed Ouahbi speaks on the Netherlands’ elimination from the World Cup.
The coach explained why the team was eliminated. “Morocco has gained everybody’s respect now,” Ouahbi said, adding: “It’s not because of what we’ve said. We’ve now shown it.
“We completely dominated a Netherlands team. We had 70% possession, more shots and more expected goals. We controlled the match. We wanted to stay calm, play our game and believe that if it went to penalties, we had an exceptional goalkeeper. We didn’t turn the match into a chaotic battle. We controlled it.”
Nigerian footballer and former captain William Troost-Ekong revealed the standout player for him in the South African team during this World Cup.
He shared that Mbekezile Mbokazi really stood out in the World Cup match against Canada.
Despite their loss, he praised the team’s performance. “It speaks volumes that Mbokazi [Mbekezile] was the best player on the South African team. I believe Okon also had considerable possession of the ball.”
Poland footballer Robert Lewandowski’s new club has officially been revealed.
It can be noted that the player was involved in the ongoing summer transfer window, with negotiations taking place over his future.
The footballer will be joining Chicago Fire. It can be recalled that he visited the club two weeks ago, and the move has now been confirmed. The information was shared by football transfer expert Fabrizio Romano.
