CB Gabriel Osho is hoping to earn a playing spot in the Super Eagles, and more so win over the fans when he gets his chance to suit up for the team.
Osho is named in Nigeria’s 23-man squad for this month’s AFCON qualifying matches against Benin Republic and Rwanda, hoping to get his first international cap.
Speaking with the NFF Media, the CB says he wants to earn the shirt and is committed to doing “everything”.
“I’ll just work as hard as I can, and I think that’s what the fans expect from every single player here,” said the 26 year-old.

“As long as everyone works as hard as they can; everyone is talented enough to be here. So now it’s just applying that and the work ethic. That’s what I got; much hard work, and everything for the shirt.”
