Esperance striker Emem Eduok has spoken of his happiness at being handed a recall to the national team after spending more than seven months in the international wilderness.

In January, the striker was decamped from the Super Eagles team ahead of the friendlies against Ivory Coast and Yemen over the transfer saga between his Tunisian club and Norwegians Sarpsborg 08.

“I thank God for this call - up, I am very happy to be invited to the team by the new coach, ” said Emem Eduok to allnigeriasoccer.com.

“I knew my time will come. It is very possible to win playing away from home against Tanzania, that is our target.”

The former Dolphins striker is yet to make his international debut for Nigeria as the friendly last November was against the youth team of Ghana and caps were not awarded for the game in Uyo.
