“It means a lot to me. It is a great honour to put on the jersey. It is just like seeing dreams come to pass. You dreamt about playing , and representing your country and, now you have the chance.
“I want to finish my career as a legend, I want to be someone that plays for Super Eagles, the name they would remember. When Durosinmi played for Super Eagles, he gave his best and was one of the best. That’s how I want to finish my career,” added Durosinmi.
22-year-old Nigerian professional footballer who began his youth career at Box2Box FC before joining Karviná’s youth team in 2021 said that players like Victor Osimhen, Paul Onuachu and Akor Adams are good examples he can emulate.
“I’m not really someone that watches football, but now seeing the Super Eagles play, the person I have watched play is Osimhen. I also watch Onuachu when he plays for his club and national team. Also Akor Adams is doing great. I think they are a good example for me,” Durosinmi stated.
The striker is among the list of players invited by Super Eagles head coach Eric Chelle for the Unity Cup which kicks off today (May 26) and he is primed to make his debut against Zimbabwe at the Valley Stadium in London.
