TVC E, SPORTS – Coach Samson Siasia has named Alex Iwobi of Arsenal and Taiwo Awoniyi as part of the Dream Team VI that will prosecute the friendly game against Brazil.

The international friendly is tentatively fixed for March 24,  which falls under the FIFA window and Siasia is bent on presenting a killer squad against Brazil in a match that would take place in a yet to be named venue in Brazil.

The former Super Eagles coach on arrival from the United States of America where he went on vacation told SportingLife in Abuja that he has vowed to utilise  the FIFA free window to play international friendly matches to build a stronger team that won’t disappoint Nigeria in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil when the Olympic Football Tournament kicks off in August this year.

“We have barely six months to the Olympics and I want to ensure we play international friendly matches within the FIFA window between now and August. That way we can bring our targeted players to play together and blend well. But this can only be done if they play together frequently and against good opponents”, Siasia disclosed.

 The source further states that the Dream Team VI boss is ready to send letters of invitation to 19-year-old Glasgow Rangers of Scotland loanee, Nathan Oduwa who has rejoined his club Tottenham Hotspur and 20-year-old KAA Gent of Belgium forward, Peter Olayinka.

Oduwa made 19 appearances for Rangers before returning to his English Premiership club, Tottenham.

Other players that Siasia is looking to invite for the friendly includes the captain of the team, Azubuike Okechukwu, Junior Ajayi and Victor Osimhen”, SportingLife reliably gathered.
