Super Eagles and AJ Auxerre defender, Gabriel Adedayo Osho, has revealed he’s been stunned by the amount of talent in the current crop of the senior Nigerian football team.

The former Luton Town man was called up to the Super Eagles squad for the first time in March 2024, but was unable to make his debut due to injury.

Following Luton Town’s relegation from the English top-flight, the 26-year-old joined French Ligue 1 side, AJ Auxerre and has been impressive for them this season, playing all nine games to help L’AJA to ninth place on the French table.

His solid performances saw him seal another invite to the Nigerian national team, and the talent in the team has wowed the ex-Reading man.

“All you have to do is look at the frontline; you see the names of all the players that are here and the ones who could not be selected for the squad the is time, the Country is full of talented players.

So it’s very competitive to get a call up, and like I said, it’s a great honor for me because I know there are so many great players from Nigeria that aren’t here,” the ex-Rochdale man said in an interview with the NFF Media.

Osho and his ex-teammate, Elijah Adebayo expressed their desire to play for the Super Eagles last season, but the Luton Town striker is yet to receive a call-up as he’s struggling in the EFL Championships this season.
