Newly-appointed coach of Nigeria’s Super Eagles, Sunday Oliseh is already eyeing Liverpool forward, Jordan Ibe for his new squad.

In a bid to secure the Liverpool revelation, Oliseh has set up a meeting in a bid to convince the Liverpool player, whose father is Nigerian even though he has represented England at various age-group levels, to play for Nigeria and not England.

The Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) had hinted they were making efforts to get Ibe to commit to Nigeria, and following Oliseh’s outburst during his media presentation in Abuja that Nigeria no longer has top-class performers, plans may have been concluded to convince 19-year old to dump England.

“Oliseh, who has returned to Europe, will meet with Jordan Ibe to convince him he has a brighter future with Nigeria than England,” an official reportedly said.

Ibe, who can play on either wings, as a striker or a playmaker, made his debut for the Liverpool first team after he played on loan at Derby County on loan the previous season.

Recall that former Super Eagles coach, Samson Siasia also convinced Victor Moses and Shola Ameobi to switch their international allegiance and play for Nigeria.
