Published: June 10, 2018
Ambitious Chelsea defender Kenneth Omeruo has revealed that Nigeria can win the 2018 World Cup because the players will work their socks off during the tournament in Russia.
Omeruo joined a select group of Nigerian players to have represented the country in the Fifa U17 and U20 World Cups, Confederations Cup and World Cup when he went the distance against Iran in Brazil 2014.
''Yes, we can win the World Cup. I think we have never gone past the round of sixteen, this time we are not going to say let us go to the round of sixteen,'' Omeruo told
OMASPORTSTV.
''We will be been working hard, taking every game as it comes and hopefully our hard work will see us through to the final or to do something that no African country has done.''

Omeruo will compete with Leon Balogun, William Troost-Ekong, Chidozie Awaziem, Brian Idowu and John Ogu for the central defensive positions at the World Cup.
