KESHI HANDS SHOLA AMEOBI SUPER EAGLES INVITATION FOR MANDELA CHALLENGE

NIGERIA SUPER EAGLES

Nigeria Coach Stephen Keshi has handed Newcastle United forward an opportunity to be part his team for an invitational game against South Africa on  August 14th in Durban. Report suggests that the Big Newcastle united forward became available again for selection after resolving a clause in his contract that made him unable to represent Nigeria at the Africa Cup of Nations in January. Shola could fit into Keshi's plan and urge to get a clinical finisher who his task will be to create attacking options up front .
