Samuel Ayinoko Pleased With Under 23 Call - Up

Sweden - based midfielder Samuel Monday Ayinoko has expressed his happiness following his invitation to the Under 23 National Team.

Unlike last year that a last - minute groin injury ruled him out of the Flying Eagles training camp in Germany, the Kwara Football Academy product is as fit as a fiddle and is eager to show off his skills to coach Samson Siasia.

“I just found out this morning that I was called up, I am so happy, so grateful and overwhelmed with joy.

“I have not been in contact with Samson Siasia but I think he knows me all these years after the Mourinho incident,” said Ayinoko to allnigeriasoccer.com.

He added : “I have learnt a lot over these years and it’s time to bring all to reality  I have waited and longed for this opportunity. :I know God will see me through it all. He is my all in all...”

Samuel Ayinoko, who is now a free agent but played for ängelholms last term, has confirmed that he will arrive camp on Saturday.
