Nigeria Football Federation president Amaju Pinnick has revealed how the country narrowly missed out on signing Arsenal midfielder Eberechi Eze and Aston Villa striker Tammy Abraham for Super Eagles duty in a surprise twist. The switch came at a crucial time when Nigerian coach Jose Peseado was facing a crisis with key players including forward Emmanuel Eze missing from the team due to injury.
