The head coach of the Super Eagles, Jose Peseiro has said only quality players in the Nigeria Premier Football League, NPFL, will be invited into the national team.

Peseiro made this comment on Saturday in Abidjan during his press conference ahead of Nigeria’s opening fixture at the 2023 African Cup of Nations against Equatorial Guinea.

The Portuguese made it clear he would invite good players regardless of the league they ply their trade.

“I have not said that no player in the local league can play for the Super Eagles, but I need to see if you have the qualities and capacities to play.

“Ojo [Olorunleke] is in the team, but if I see other players with quality, I will invite them. We coaches are not stupid.

“I need to choose the best players; if a local league player is better than the one outside, I will call him,” Peseiro said.
