Union Berlin star Taiwo Awoniyi has attributed his recent Super Eagles call-up to hard work and dedication.
Following his impressive goalscoring run in the German elite division – where he boasts five goals in seven appearances in the 2021-22 campaign – the 24-year-old was called up by coach Gernot Rohr.
Initially, he was not in Nigeria’s plans for the 2022 Fifa World Cup qualifiers against the Central African Republic, but an injury to France-based Terem Moffi necessitated the move.
Elated by his call-up, the former Nigeria U23 star spoke about why he was invited to the three-time African fold.
“It’s hard work and dedication but for me sometimes you work hard and don’t see the result but just keep on working be patient and God will do the rest. I’m very happy about it to be part of the Super Eagles,” Awoniyi said on Brila FM per Completesports.
“For me, it’s every player’s dream. Every player will be happy to be part of the Super Eagles and in one of them.
“It’s a privilege and honour for me to be part of the team which I’m very happy about.”
