19 - year - old Lillestrom forward Freddy Friday has commented on his invitation to the Under 23 national team.

Regarded as one of Nigeria’s top talents plying his trade in Scandinavia, Friday netted 3 goals in 16 games for the first team of LSK, and supplemented that goal haul by scoring 28 times for the reserve team over the course of the 2014 season.

“I am happy that I was invited, it is another opportunity for me to show myself. It is the dream of every footballer to represent his country.

“I just have to put in my best. I hope to arrive the country next week then I will resume with the team,” Freddy Friday told allnigeriasoccer.com.

A product of Bujoc Academy Lagos, the striker signed a two - and - a - half - year deal with Lillestrom in the summer of 2013.
