Slovakia based Nigeria defender, Celestine Lazarus, has told Gernot Rohr to extend invitation to him as Nigeria prepares for 2022 AFCON qualifiers.
The Slavoj Trebišov player has enjoyed a smooth journey in Europe in the last five years and believes he has gathered enough experience to be in the star- studded national team.
“Playing for my country is one of my biggest dreams coming up as a player, and I think I have gotten better credentials to don the country’s colours ahead of next AFCON,” said Lazarus.
