Eze: Rohr hopes ‘one of the best offensive midfielders’ switches to Nigeria

Nigeria national team coach Gernot Rohr is hoping Eberechi Eze will decide in no distant time to switch to the West African side, describing him as one of the best offensive midfielders he has ever seen in England.

Eze was born in England to Nigerian parents and has represented the European country at the U20 and U21 levels but he still eligible to switch his allegiance to play for the Super Eagles if he chooses to.

The midfielder has been turning heads since he teamed up with Crystal Palace last summer and in the current campaign, he has featured in more than 30 games for the Premier League side, scoring three goals and providing three assists.
