Former Super Eagles' skipper, Kanu Nwankwo has offered to convince former Super Eagles' shot stopper, Vincent Enyeama to come out of retirement and assist the country in qualifying for the 2018 world cup billed to be hosted by Russia. Kanu stated that his decision to intervene in the matter was because of the goal keeper crisis rocking the team currently, as Super Eagles' number one goal keeper, Carl Ikeme battles acute leukaemia.
According to him, “as it is now we need Vincent badly. In my opinion, Enyeama should come back immediately. 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.
He urged Nigerians to plead with him to come out of retirement and assist the country in qualifying for the world cup. "Whoever is close enough to reach him should tell him to start coming back."
