An upcoming Nigerian footballer Neville Nnamdi Kalu has declared his readiness to play at the highest level if given the opportunity.
The American/Nigerian-born Kalu who had a stint with third division clubs in Spain and Germany said he has been waiting for the right offers so he could move to a bigger league.
According to the 21-year-old player, “I have been training and keeping fit and talking to agents to make good moves now that the coronavirus pandemic is giving way.
“I was in Germany where I played for the under-23 before the pandemic started. I have been to Spain. I spent one month and some weeks in Spain in an academy. Before then I was just playing here in Nigeria, I trained with Enyimba for some months, then I went back.
“I aspire to play in the big leagues. I want to play majorly in European football where I can play big.
“My dream is to play for Barcelona because even when I was little I grew up in the city before we came back to Nigeria. I grew up loving the team right from when I was a child. I love the likes of Ronaldinho, Messi and the rest of them. Is a team I would want to be part of in the future.
On his international career choice, Kalu said, “Yes, I want to play for Super Eagles if given the opportunity. Everything has its own time; the people at my age level playing top games have their own time. Mine might be longer than theirs but I believe that things are already falling in place; I believe I would be playing for the Super Eagles soonest.”
