Peter Ijeh Urges Inclusion of NPFL and Fringe Stars in Chelle’s Super Eagles Squad

1 / 2

Former Super Eagles striker Peter Ijeh has called on head coach Eric Chelle to broaden his squad selection after the friendlies against Iran and Jordan in Turkey. Ijeh said these matches offered the perfect platform to test new talent. He believes home-based players from the Nigeria Premier Football League deserve international exposure alongside fringe internationals. Now a UEFA-licensed coach based in Sweden, Ijeh recommends a more balanced roster. He suggests a squad mix of roughly 40–50% NPFL talents and fringe players to strengthen the talent pool.
