In light of all speculations making the rounds as to the invited players for the upcoming friendlies, one name many Nigerians seem to be omitting is Al Ahly’s Junior Ajayi.

Recently named in this year's Africa 11 by CAF beating the likes of Aubameyang and Mane, the former 3SC man is quietly making a name for himself.

The question on if he is good enough or not should be left to the coach to decide.

Ajayi who is regarded as a left winger that can also play on the right wing as well as up top in a 3-man forward line.

His versatility might be a plus for the national team if invited for the upcoming friendlies.

Many would wonder why someone based in Africa should be called up to fight for a spot against the likes of Moses Simon and Alex Iwobi?

His age and versatility is something to consider. While many would say we already have this in the aforementioned players, his ability to create and score goals also counts.

This is not a plea for his invite… but,  he deserves to be looked into!
