The fine form of European Nigerian forward Henry Onyekuru has caught the attention of the coach of the Nigeria national team Gernot Rohr.
Last night Onyekuru took his season goal tally to 10 for the season with a brace for Eupen in their 3- 0 win over KV Oostende in one of the Boxing Day fixtures in the Belgian League.
19 year old Onyekuru is in his first season in the Belgian top flight league after winning promotion with Eupen to the top division, where his six goals played a big role in their eventual promotion.
” We aware of his exploits in Belgium, am very happy and have seen his games. I love him a lot. He has something I fancy and love in a forward, he is doing well in a league that is well respected”, Rohr told nigeriasoccernet.com in London.
” Too early to say if we are going to call him up but we are watching him at close quarters and monitoring his progress, hopefully, if he keeps performing well for his team, then we have no choice than to call him up”.
