Chelsea’s right-back, Ola Aina has declared readiness to play his first game for the Super Eagles in Saturday’s crunch 2018 World Cup qualifier against Zambia in Uyo.
The 21-year-old defender was on the bench when Nigeria filed out against Cameroon in Yaounde after he was cleared by FIFA last month.
Aina has already made 11 appearances for English Championship side, Hull City where he is currently on loan this season.
He revealed that he has been following the Super Eagles and African football for a while before his switch to Nigeria from England.
He told press conference in Uyo on Thursday, “To put it short, it’s a big honour to represent Nigeria, and I’m happy to be here with the team.
“I’ve been following the Super Eagles and African football for a while now. So much physicality, but definitely, I am ready to play for the team if I get the chance on Saturday.
“The most important thing is to win and qualify for the World Cup.”
