Ojo Olorunleke Reveals He's Set For Dream Team VI Challenge

Giwa FC’s Ojo Olorunleke has said that he is ready to fight a shirt in the Nigeria's U23 national team if given a chance.

The former Golden Eaglets goalkeeper, who was part of Manu Garba's team at the FIFA U20 world cup in New Zealand said he had a great season with his club last year, adding that he's ready to

translate that into the national team if given the chance.

Giwa finished 5th at the end of Nigeria Professional Football League last season and the 19-year-old shot-stopper played a massive role to that effect, and he has not hidden his desire to play for the country at the 2016 Rio Olympics.

“My priority has also been to represent my country, and judging by my performance with Giwa FC last season, I’m ready to challenge for a place in the Nigeria U23 team,” Olorunleke told Goal.

“I was part of the Flying Eagles team to the African U20 Championship and the U20 World Cup where I was not given enough opportunity to prove myself and with my current form, I’ll give in my all to be in Brazil.”

On his future with Giwa FC, Olorunleke said he remains a player of the Jos Elephants but despite interest from several clubs.

“For now, I play for Giwa FC but don't know what may happen before the commencement of the new season because some teams are in talks with me,” he continued.

“To be candid, I still have a year left [with Giwa] and should nothing happen, I will stay and help the club challenge for the league title.

“And not minding who I play for next season, my target is to keep improving and try as much as possible to help my team win laurels,” he concluded. Goal
