Onyekuru keen to make Super Eagles AFCON squad

Al-Feiha striker Henry Onyekuru is determined to secure a spot in Nigeria’s squad for the 2023 Africa Cup of Nations. Despite not being called up since participating in the 2021 AFCON finals in Cameroon, the 26-year-old remains hopeful. Onyekuru, who joined Saudi Arabia Pro League side Al-Feiha from Adana Demirspor in the summer, has showcased his versatility with three goals and two assists in 14 appearances this season. Expressing optimism about his chances, Onyekuru aims to impress Nigeria’s head coach, Jose Peseiro, and earn a place in the squad for the Cote d’Ivoire 2023 tournament. Despite misconceptions about the Saudi league’s intensity, Onyekuru believes his performances demonstrate its competitiveness, stating, “I am not giving up, and anything can happen.”
