The Nigeria Football Federation is reportedly hopeful about securing the commitment of highly-rated Angers SCO forward Prosper Peter to the Super Eagles, as the national team focuses on a youth-centric rebuilding strategy, Naija Footy reports.
The 18-year-old striker, whose performances in France have drawn considerable attention, is seen as one of the most promising Nigerian talents in European football. Sources within the federation suggest that efforts are ongoing to ensure he pledges his international future to Nigeria.
Peter’s inclusion would bolster the Super Eagles’ attacking options under head coach Eric Chelle, who is tasked with assembling a squad capable of competing for top honors in the near future, Naija Footy reports.
The Angers forward could join an impressive crop of attacking talent led by Victor Osimhen, Nigeria’s undisputed star striker at both club and international levels. Emerging players like Akor Adams and George Ilenikhena are also considered integral to the team’s plans moving forward.
Chelle has consistently stressed the importance of blending experienced veterans with up-and-coming talent. This approach has prompted the federation to keep a close watch on dual-nationality players and rising stars across Europe.
With Prosper Peter now a key target, the Super Eagles may soon welcome another dynamic attacking talent as part of their push to build what some envision as Nigeria’s next-generation dream team.
