Hertha BSC, Germany Coaches Tell Torunarigha : You Have A Future With Germany Not Nigeria
Published: March 17, 2018
The German Football Association are prepared to do battle with their Nigerian counterparts over the services of highly-rated Hertha Berlin central defender Jordan Torunarigha.
Germany U21s manager Stefan Kuntz and Hertha Berlin coach Pal Dardai hope he refuses the offer from the Nigerian Federation to represent the Super Eagles at the 2018 World Cup, and added that he has a future with Germany's senior national team.
''Jordan is a top player, who absolutely convinced me. He has a great left foot and his development is far from over. I did not nominate him for nothing again,'' said Kuntz, who invited Torunarigha for the upcoming games against Israel and Kosovo, to German newspaper B.Z.
Pal Dardai is on the same page as Kuntz, and said : ''The World Cup is certainly a great opportunity for him.
''But maybe it is better for the development, if he goes through the U21 at the DFB. Maybe then it works with the German national team.''
Jordan's father Ojokojo Torunarigha played twelve matches for Nigeria's national team.
