After making his long awaited debut for Nigeria's Super Eagles, CSKA Moscow of Russia winger Bright Ejuke has said it's a dream come true for him, BSNSports.com.ng reports.

Ejuke moved to the Russia premier league this summer after having a remarkable outing for Dutch Eredivisie side Heerenven.

He was introduced for Samuel Chukwueze in the 77th minute against Carthage Eagles of Tunisia after missing the clash against Desert Warrior of Algeria.

While speaking to Oma Sport, Ejuke described the moment as a dream come for him wearing green white green of Nigeria.

“It is a dream come true because it is something I have been hoping for and praying for to happen,” Ejuke told Oma Sports.

“To be honest, I’m not gonna lie, it almost like perfect timing for me. For it to happen this time, I’m really excited and I give thanks to God and everyone who has been supporting this journey.

“For me, I can play in any role in the attack but normally, I like to play as a left-winger which is like my favourite," he said.

Ejuke is expected to make his competitive debut for Nigeria's Super Eagles in the upcoming 2021 African Cup Of Nations qualifier against Sierra Leone in November.
