John Ogu has backed his teammate at Israeli champions Hapoel Be’er Sheva, Anthony Nwakaeme, to take his chance should he be called up for next month’s crucial World Cup qualifiers against Cameroon.
The 28-year-old Nwakaeme has been prolific for his Israeli club – 38 goals in the league in the last four seasons – but he has so far not been called up by the Super Eagles.
His super strike this week in a UEFA Champions League qualifier has again sparked off agitation for his call-up.

“If given the chance, he will show he’s ready, he will come to fight in the important games against Cameroon.
