Ola Aina has spoken of his pride at earning his first Nigeria call-up.
After helping the Tigers return to winning ways against Bolton, the on-loan right-back flew out to join up with the Super Eagles at the weekend ahead of back-to-back World Cup qualifiers against Cameroon.
The two games could potentially see Nigeria extend their advantage at the top of Group B and Aina knows it would be a huge achievement to make his senior international debut if called upon.
“It was a very proud moment to get called-up by Nigeria and the prospect of representing my country for the first time is very exciting,” he said.
“Everyone wants to play at the highest level and that’s what international level is. For me, it’s very exciting and I want to do really well.
“We’ve got an important two games against Cameroon coming up and I’m really looking forward to the whole experience.
“It should be two good, but very tough games. They’re a physical side and will no doubt be in good spirits after winning the African Cup of Nations in February.
“As I say, it will be tough but I’m very much looking forward to both matches and hopefully playing in the Super Eagles’ colours.”
