Okwuosa eyes Eagles’ recall

Chippa United defender James Okwuosa is undoubtedly a phenomenon in the South African topflight division and expects a recall to Super Eagles fold.
There has been a wide outcry for the injection of quality sweepers at the rearguard for the national team who would provide adequate competition for the established ones.
The 27-year old made his first international bow in a Nelson Mandela Cup challenge against South Africa back in 2013 under then manager, Stephen Keshi before earning further caps against Burkina Faso and competitively against Ethiopia in a World Cup qualifier.
His line of progression has been shockingly stunted as the player has long gone into obscurity on the international scene, though that has done little to stop him from starring consistently for The Chilli Boys in South Africa where he has made 13 consecutive appearances for his second-placed team this season, all impressively full shifts, forming part of a solid back line that has conceded just eight goals during that period.
One may interpret these statistics either of two ways; going by the standing of the PSL, no doubt, most Nigerian fans remain in thrall of more illustrious leagues the likes of the EPL and the La Liga to be precise, Okwuosa might well be a top quality player in a not too glamorous league, a fact which might seem to explain why he has been out of the national team picture for so long.
