Iwobi, Aina Arrive Eagles Camp

The late night arrival of Super Eagles London based duo of Alex Iwobi and Ola Aina has raised the number of players in the team, as well as the teams morale ahead of the June 1 friendly match against the Hawks of Togo in France.

The Eagles, who forced the national team of the Island of Corsica to a 1-1 draw during the first friendly at Ajaccio, will battle Togo in the last game as part of the teams training camp in France ahead of the 2019 AFCON qualifying match against South Africa in Uyo on June 10.

A total of 19 players are currently in the camp of the Super Eagles preparing for their next friendly game against Togo following the arrival of Wilfred Ndidi and Olarewaju Kayode.

Manchester City forward, Kelechi Iheanacho, who scored the Eagles equalizer against Corsica last Friday left the camp for London, where he is expected to complete his move from Manchester City to West Ham United, which has indicated interest in the top finisher.

The players will be expected to be involved in a strong battle for consideration by the Technical Adviser, Gernot Rohr, who is expected to release a fresh list for the Eagles AFCON qualifier against South Africa.
