Former Eagles skipper, Nwankwo Kanu says he is ready to convince Vincent Enyeama back to the fold of the Super Eagles because the team cannot afford to overlook him in its march toward qualification for 2019 Africa Cup of Nations and 2018 FIFA World Cup.
The former Arsenal star said Enyeama, who acrimoniously departure from the Super Eagles fold in 2015 during the turbulent reign of Sunday Oliseh, is still a relevant part of the team especially now that Carl Ikeme who took over from him has been diagnosed with leukemia and already undergoing treatment.
“As it is now we need Vincent badly. In my opinion, Enyeama should come back immediately,” the two-time African Player of the Year told ESPN.
“Enyeama is very very good. He is one of the best players in Africa, and one of the best in the world. Let the federation look into it and do everything they can to bring him back.
“If Enyeama says he doesn’t want to come, people like us can talk to him, the federation too can talk to him. If a lot of people talk to him, I’m sure that definitely he will change his mind.
“And not just Enyeama, let us look at some of the other active goalkeepers too. If we have like four goalkeepers there training, there will be competition and the coach can have more options to make his decision.”
