Super Eagles rookie, Junior Lokosa, says his invitation to Gernot Rohr is a dream come true.
Lokosa is among 30 players invited in the preliminary list for the forthcoming FIFA World Cup in Russia.
The Kano Pillars, who has been in blistering form this term with 18 goals in 20 matches, is hoping to make the opportunity count.
“I give God the glory and the coach [Gernot Rohr] for this opportunity,” Lokosa told Goal.
“It is a dream come true for me. Every Nigerian player – either at home or abroad definitely wants to represent the country. It is a wonderful privilege for me to make the [World Cup] list.
“I am ready to take this great opportunity and do my very best to justify my inclusion. I have been giving my best in each day for any team I play for because I believe that’s what we make me a better person and that has got me to where I am now.
“It was the decision of the coach to give me the golden chance and I am focused on giving a good account of myself in the Super Eagles’ camp. I believe that I can make it to Russia.”
The Super Eagles will begin their sixth World Cup campaign against Croatia on June 16 at the Kaliningrad Stadium before facing Iceland and later Argentina in Group D.
