Super Eagles interim coach Austin Eguavoen has opened up on reason he overlooked the duo of Tolulope Arokodare and Cyril Dessers.
Both players has been fantastic for their respective clubs since the start of the 2024/2025 season.
Tolulope has scored 6 goals for Genk this season while Dessers has also scored 7 for Rangers.
Eguavoen explained that he decided to stick with Kelechi Iheanacho despite his poor form due to experience.
“I decided to include Kelechi Iheanacho of Sevilla when it became clear Victor Osimhen would not be fit in time,” Eguavoen told Afrik Foot.
“I looked at both Cyriel Dessers and Tolu Arokodare, but opted for Kelechi this time because he is the more experienced striker.”
