Nigeria and Arsenal’s Alex Iwobi is a wanted man in Seychelles as players and fans of the Seychelles national team are disappointed they wouldn’t be having the opportunity to have an encounter with the Super Eagles youngster.
The Arsenal man invited in the list of players released to face Seychelles couldn’t make the trip after falling ill a little over a week to the crucial encounter and eventually dashed the hopes of many Pirates players who had hitherto looked forward to sharing the pitch and possibly exchange Jerseys with the highly rated Nigerian player.
And as the Pirates revel in what represent a dream clash against the the Super Eagles of Nigeria ahead of the 2019 AFCON, thousands of Seychelles nationals are excited to host a team as big as Nigeria and have expressed their delight in having one of Africa’s biggest power house in football right in their shores.
