By Wale Mustapha

RC Lens midfielder Hamzat Ojediran has expressed his desire to represent Nigeria’s senior national team, the Super Eagles.

Ojediran, who previously played for Nigeria at the U-17 level, has become a regular fixture in the Ligue 1 side’s midfield this season.

The 21-year-old joined Lens last summer from Albanian club Debrecine VSC and has been making an impact with one goal and one assist in 11 league appearances.

A member of Nigeria’s 2019 FIFA U-17 World Cup squad in Brazil, Ojediran has his eyes set on a future with the Super Eagles.

“My dream has always been to play for the Super Eagles,” Ojediran told Daily Post.

“I have played for Nigeria at the U-17 level, and I can’t wait to have the opportunity to represent the national team at the highest level.”
