Teenage midfield maestro Lawrence Agyekum signals interest to play for Super Eagles

Talented 21-year-old Cercle Brugge of Belgium midfielder Lawrence Agyekum has signalled his interest in playing for the Super Eagles of Nigeria in the not-too-distant future if the opportunity ever presents itself.

The player who was born to a Ghanaian father and a Nigerian mother noted that he has love for both countries but noted that he would not say no to Nigeria if he is invited.

Agyekum who is on a season-long loan from Austrian Bundesliga club Red Bull Salzburg says he can play for both countries (Ghana and Nigeria) but if the chance to play for the Super Eagles comes, he will jump at it.

“My father is from Ghana, but my mother is Nigerian. I can play for both nations. That’s one part that people don’t know about me, and if the chance to play for the Super Eagles comes, I won’t say no,” Agyekum stated.

“I have love for both countries and want to see them do well. Not too good for Ghana in the AFCON qualifiers, but they are doing well in the World Cup qualifiers. For Nigeria, the reverse is the case. I follow both closely.”
