Gent star Torunarigha dumps Germany for Super Eagles
KAA Gent defender, Jordan Torunarigha has announced he is switching international allegiance to Nigeria.
Torunarigha represented Germany at the youth level and was part of the country’s U-23 team at the last Olympic Games in Tokyo.
In the past, the centre-back turned down overtures from former Super Eagles head coach, Gernot Rohr.
He, however, recently told Ran, “I have given it a lot of thought”
“My father has already played for the Nigerian national team, so I’m really happy that I can follow in his footsteps now.
“My goal is to be part of the Nigerian team at the 2026 World Cup.”
His father, Ojokojo was also a former footballer and also represented Nigeria in the past.
