After Nigeria’s draw against Zimbabwe, Super Eagles head coach Eric Chelle has returned to Europe to continue scouting and monitoring potential players, Nigeriasoccernet.com gathered.
The French-born tactician began his tenure with a goalless draw against Rwanda in Kigali, followed by another stalemate against Zimbabwe.
With Nigeria competing for the sole qualification spot in their group, Chelle has prioritized evaluating key talents ahead of the upcoming fixtures.
One of his main targets in Europe is Arsenal’s promising youngster, Ethan Nwaneri.
Chelle is eager to formally approach the midfielder and persuade him to commit his international future to Nigeria.
Nwaneri has been one of the breakout stars of the 2024/25 English Premier League season. However, despite his impressive displays, England manager Thomas Tuchel overlooked him for the World Cup squad, leaving the door open for Nigeria to secure his allegiance.
