Super Eagles star eyes Champions League football nights at Brentford

Frank Onyeka played a significant role for the Super Eagles during their international friendly clash with Mozambique

Brentford midfielder, Frank Onyeka, has revealed his intention to compete in the next UEFA Champions Leagues campaign, Soccernet.ng reports.

The bees, despite their impressive performance in the 2022-23 English Premier League campaign, could not secure any European qualification.

The Nigerian star, however, is resolute in his determination to bring European football glory to Brentford. With the guidance of manager Thomas Frank, he firmly believes it’s an attainable goal.

Onyeka played a pivotal role in Brentford’s remarkable eigth-place finish in the Premier League last season, a historic achievement for the club.

Drawing from his past experience of Champions League football with his former team, Midtjylland, the midfielder is confident that the English club can set their sights on similar success.

“I’d love to play in the Champions League again, and I believe that as a club, we can compete in Europe. That’s our goal as well. It would be fantastic to experience Champions League football with Brentford. As for how long it will take, well, that remains to be seen. But we’re determined to make it happen.” He said, as quoted by Livescores.

Onyeka recently showcased his skills as Brentford secured a stunning 2-0 victory over Chelsea at Stamford Bridge on Saturday, further fueling the club’s ambitions for a bright European football future.
