Reports say that Super Eagles gaffer, Sunday Oliseh, may feature Manchester City's Kelechi Iheanacho for the African Cup of Nations crucial qualifiers against the Pharaohs of Egypt in March.
The Super Eagles are two points behind the North Africans, and a win at home will see them go top of group G, and will be hoping to seal the battle with a draw at in Cairo in a return leg four days after the first leg in Kaduna, on March 25.
Oliseh explained that the recent performances of the 19-year old forward for his club may put the young man in the team that will be facing the seven time Afcon champions.
The Super Eagles gaffer is also weighing up the option of making the trip to Manchester to have a face-to-face talk with the 19-year-old.
"I have not sent out my list of invited players yet. But with the kind of goal he came on to score (for Manchester City against Tottenham) recently I am looking very much at him. In fact I hope to move up to Manchester, but I am just waiting on some little things to be sorted out then we will have that done," Oliseh said.
Iheanacho has scored nine goals, including a hat-trick against Aston Villa in the FA Cup, for Manchester City this season. Supersport
