Belgium’s star, Dries Mertens has requested for the new Super Eagles kit after Victor Osimhen unveiled it on his Instagram page.

Several Nigerian players, both male and female, modelled the new kit, which all Nigerian teams will wear in matches from now till 2022.

Osimhen was also part of the shoot with the former Lille hotshot posting a picture of the home and away jersey on his social media pages.
