Former Super Eagles captain, Kanu Nwankwo,
has said he is willing to talk to former national team goalkeeper, Vincent Enyeama, to come out of retirement.
Gernot Rohr is in the middle of a goalkeeping
crisis, with first choice Carl Ikeme battling
with acute leukaemia. His understudy, Daniel
Akpeyi, failed to impress in the 2-0 defeat to
South Africa last month.
The German does not appear to trust home-
based keeper Ikechukwu Ezenwa, while Dele
Alampasu is deemed not experienced enough
for big matches.
Kanu says Nigeria needs "world class" Enyeama "badly".
"As it is now we need Vincent badly. In my opinion, Enyeama should come back immediately," the two-time African Player of the Year told KweséESPN.
"Whoever is close enough to reach him should
tell him to start coming back.
"Enyeama is very very good. He is one of the
best players in Africa, and one of the best in
the world. Let the federation look into it and
do everything they can to bring him back.
"If Enyeama says he doesn't want to come,
people like us can talk to him, the federation
too can talk to him. If a lot of people talk to him, I'm sure that definitely he will change his mind.
"And not just Enyeama, let us look at some of
the other active goalkeepers too. If we have
like four goalkeepers there training, there will
be competition and the coach can have more
options to make his decision."
