Eagles Coach Rohr Considers Inviting The New Iniesta For Friendly Against Poland?
Published: December 14, 2017
Super Eagles manager Gernot Rohr is considering inviting CS Sfaxien midfielder Kingsley Sokari for the pre-World Cup friendly against Poland on March 23, 2018, according to reports.
Although respected Tunisian outlet Gnet has claimed that the playmaker will definitely be summoned by the Nigeria Football Federation for the friendly in Poland, it is known that the list will not be made public until the first week of March next year.
The former Enyimba star, dubbed the New Iniesta in his homeland, has consistently churned out brilliant displays in the Tunisian Ligue 1 in the ongoing season and has taken part in all but one of the games played by the club.
Sokari was named CS Sfaxien's Player of the Month for November 2017 and officially picked as Man of the Match in his team's 1-0 win over Métlaoui late November.
A product of Port Harcourt City Academy, Sokari starred for the Flying Eagles at the 2015 Fifa U20 World Cup and was on target from 25 yards out in their 4-0 win against Korea DPR .
He has full caps for the Super Eagles but has not been invited to the national team since the appointment of Gernot Rohr.
