Slavia Prague striker Peter Olayinka and CSKA Sofia winger Viv Solomon-Otabor have sent a message to Super Eagles fans ahead of a possible debut against Brazil in an international friendly on Sunday.
Ramon Azeez is making a return to the national team after five years in the international wilderness and the in-form Granada midfielder is excited to face the South Americans.
Asked to introduce himself to Nigeria fans by the Super Eagles Media team, Olayinka said : ''My name is Olayinka Peter, player of Slavia Prague. I am a forward and I am very happy to be here, I want to be here for long.
''I want to give my very best to Nigeria. Keep praying for us, keep supporting us and we are going to make you guys proud''.
Solomon-Otabor comes from a footballing family, with his father representing Bendel Insurance, NNPC and Eagle Oil before relocating to England, and his uncle Thompson Oliha was part of the 1994 Africa Cup of Nations winning team.
The winger said : ''My name is Viv Efosa Solomon-Otabor, I am 23 years old and I play for CSKA Sofia. I am from Edo State in Nigeria and I am very honoured to have been called up for Nigeria and I hope there's many more times for this to happen again.
''We have a big game on Sunday and I want every Nigerian to come and support us and show us some love.''
