An interim manager with the substantive manager watching on from the sidelines creates the perfect scenario to catch the eye.

This looks like a new slate for some players called up for the Nations Cup beginning in Cameroon on Sunday., on the sidelines, but watching on in Cameroon, five players in the 28-man squad will give their all to cement a place in the Super Eagles squad from now on.

After shining with KAS Eupen in Belgium, he made the move to the English side Everton, but he did not play a minute at Goodison before they shipped him to Anderlecht and then to Galatasaray where he enjoyed some success. He failed to make the squad to the last World Cup by millimetres and if not for injuries and absences, will not be in Cameroon preparing for the Nations Cup.

Ebuehi was a part of the Super Eagles squad to the 2018 FIFA World Cup in Russia and played 44 minutes against Iceland, the only match the Eagles won. Ebuehi is seeking to get ahead of Chidozie Awaziem, Ola Aina, and the injured Shehu Abdullahi. A composed showing devoid of injury could give him the edge in Cameroon.The captain of the victorious Golden Eaglets squad to the 2015 U-17 FIFA, Nwakali, has been talked up as the new successor to the Okocha throne.

Noted for silky body movements, long passes, and long-range shots, he could yet be the answer to the elusive No.10 all Nigerian football fans have been craving since Austin Okocha’s retirement.Ajayi was almost a permanent fixture under the departed Gernot Rohr at one point, but suddenly his role was gazumped despite the ability to play both in central defence and in central midfield.
