Victor Moses has been linked with a return to the Nigeria senior national team four years after announcing his international retirement.
The former Chelsea wing-back quit the three-time African champions in the wake of the country’s failed expedition at the 2018 Fifa World Cup in Russia.
Moses, who made his debut for the West Africans in 2012, was part of Stephen Keshi’s side that won the 2013 African Cup of Nations, after missing out on the 2012 edition.
According to the unconfirmed news, coach Augustine Eguavoen was quoted stating that he wants the Spartak Moscow player back in his squad.
Regardless, fans across the African continent have taken to social media – with many backing the claim judging by the player’s experience.
However, some expressed their exasperation at the buzz, describing it as steps backward for Nigeria – a country blessed with abundant talent.
Having in mind that Eguavoen invited Saudi Arabia-based Odion Ighalo and Ogenyi Onazi, some teasingly asked Gernot Rohr’s replacement to add retired Jay-Jay Okocha, Garba Lawal and Julius Aghahowa to his wishlist.
