By Emediong Silver

Former Green Eagles rock-solid defender, Bright Omokaro, has called the attention of the national team coach, Gernot Rohr, to Anthony Okpotu who is currently playing in Tunisia.

Omokaro also urged the former German International to give all the strikers who are doing well a chance to prove themselves in the Eagles. Former Lobi Stars striker, Anthony Okpotu, lrecently won the top scorer’s award for his Tunisian club, US Monastir.

The striker’s exploits in the Tunisian league has continued to attract positive comments from Nigerians.
Omokaro while commenting on Okpotu exploit said, "Winning the top scorer award in Tunisia and also being named the best foreign player in the league shows that Okpoku has come of age. I think he deserves Super Eagles’ call up.
“Competition is vital in the national team. If
he is allowed to fight for shirt with Victor
Osimhen and others, it will bring out the best
in the strikers and the winner takes it all.
“When you watch Ronaldo and Messi in
competition, you see they work hard to be at
their best at all times. This is why our players
in the national team need to be opened to
competition to bring out the best.”
We'll have to wait and see if he gets called up to the national team when the international break returns.
