Austria Vienna Star Olarenwaju Kayode Issues Come-And-Get-Me Plea To Nigeria U23s Coach

Austria Vienna frontman Olarenwaju Kayode reckons that he deserves a call up to Nigeria’s U23 national team ahead of the Olympic Games in Rio on the back of his performances in the Bundesliga.

The former Golden Eaglets and Flying Eaglets star is one of the first names on the team sheet of manager Thorsten Fink, starting 30 out of a possible 35 games in the topflight and has notched 12 goals.

“I have not been contacted to play at the Olympics, I need to be contacted first , ” said Olarenwaju Kayode to allnigeriasoccer.com.

“I don’t really know the team or players because I have been so busy here and wanted to qualify for the Europa League and now we have qualified, I think I am a bit relaxed.

“If I am invited, as always I will try to put in my best, also I will make use of my pace. Sure, it is true that I am one of the fastest players in the Austrian Bundesliga. ”

Only Jonathan Soriano (Salzburg) and teammate Alexander Gorgon have scored more goals than the Nigerian striker in the Austrian Bundesliga ahead of the final round of the season on Sunday.
