Playing For Super Eagles Will Be A Dream Come True – Olatunji

Sparta Prague striker, Victor Olatunji has said that playing for the Super Eagles will be a dream come true for him.

Olatunji also said he is ready to play for the Super Eagles should he get a chance under new coach, Eric Chelle, adding that he believes he is good enough to earn a call-up.

The striker has so far performed creditably for Sparta Prague this season after scoring four goals and contributing two assists in 14 UEFA Champions League games including qualifiers.

Olatunji played against the likes of Inter Milan, Manchester City, Atletico Madrid and Bayer Leverkusen in the Champions League, games he admitted have boosted his confidence as a footballer.

The 25-year-old who has also scored six goals in 19 Czech Chance Liga matches for third-placed Sparta Prague this season recently spoke about his Super Eagles’ prospect in an interview he granted from his base in the Czech Republic.

He talked about what it would be like for him to play for the Super Eagles, especially now that he is in a decent run of form and expressed readiness if such an opportunity arises.

Olatunji added that it would be a dream come true should he get a call-up from the Nigerian Football Federation (NFF) ahead of next month’s 2026 World Cup qualifiers against Rwanda and Zimbabwe.

“I know that I have got what it takes to showcase my talent in the Super Eagles jersey, although I am not forcing myself on the team,” he said from the Czech Republic.

“I only think I am in good shape to inspire the Super Eagles to greater heights. I believe the coach has a plan and if opportuned to make his squad, I will make Nigerians proud.

“I think I have been drilled by Czech league champions, Sparta Prague. Having helped my team to the league and cup title, I can boldly say I am good enough for the Super Eagles.

“I also think my UEFA Champions League exposure will go a long way in giving my fans what they love to see.

“It is obvious that the Super Eagles are blessed with lots of talented forwards but I think my addition will further fire the team to glory.”
