Leverkusen’s Nigerian winger, Sidney Sam
Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) has cautioned on the reported
willingness of Super Eagles coach Stephen Keshi to cap Sidney Sam, when
it declared that the German born midfielder as not good enough for the
national team.
Keshi has not hidden his desire to hold talks in Germany with the Bayer
Leverkusen winger on the possibility of making him a Nigerian
international.
But NFF Secretary General Musa Amadu, poured cold water on the reported
interest by saying that Sam is not as good as the media is making him
to look.
“This too much talk concerning Sidney Sam is not necessary as he is not
good enough for the Eagles. We have players that are better than him in
the local league and in the senior team. Even he is rated the number
four-player in his position in German pecking order,” Amadu blasted.
Sam has continued to make the headlines in Nigeria with report
yesterday even claiming that the player who had already been capped by
Germany at youth levels may have communication problems with his
Nigerian team mates, as he speaks no English language.
Even if Keshi eventually initiates the move to land Sidney, Amadu said
there is no guarantee that the winger would play a role in Nigeria’s
busy programmes in June because the processes of securing his switch
will take more than 90 days.
