Bayer Leverkusen midfielder Sidney Sam has finally given a firm commitment that his international future lies with Nigeria. Initially courted by former coach Samson Siasia and further prodded by Stephen Keshi, Sam has now made it clear he will turn out in the green and white strip.
Keshi revealed that the player gave his word after he told him that Nigeria was his fatherland and he should come and be part of the setting for the Nations Cup.“He’s keen to join up with us, so we will wait and see how he responds when we open camp for the Nations Cup, but I have spoken to him and he sounded very enthusiastic to be part of the set-up.” The 24-year-old has played for Germany at youth level, but remains legible to play for Nigeria, his father's country of origin.
