New boy, Anthony Nwakaeme has vowed to take his chances if called upon to play against Cameroon on Friday.
Nwakaeme told the media in a pre- match press conference on Wednesday that he will take his chances if they come.
“I have been working hard with my team and I am happy to be here. I just want to take my chance and do my best for the country against Cameroon on Friday.”
The Happoel Be’er Sheva striker has a career total of 33 goals from 125 matches and 6 goals from 18 appearances this year but it getting his first international invite.
“I have never been disappointed that no national team coach called me up,” Tony said.
“I have always known my time would come and I was only just waiting for the right time and I am happy the current coach has recognised me.”
He will, however, have to contend with returnee striker, Odion Ighalo and Kelechi Iheanacho who got the coach’s nod against South Africa in June.
