Taiwo Awoniyi dreams AFCON 2021 glory with Super Eagles

Union Berlin forward Taiwo Awoniyi says the Super Eagles are determined to make Nigerians proud in Cameroon.

The Super Eagles are currently training in Abuja ahead of the 2021 African Cup of Nations, which is just less than a week away from now.

Awoniyi who scored nine league goals for Union Berlin this season will be attending his first senior tournament with Nigeria and he’s likely to lead the attack with Osimhen and Paul Onuachu missing.

“For us, it is to go there and do everything for the country. We just finished another training session, getting there step by step and when the time comes we will deliver for the country.

The Super Eagles will open their Group D campaign against Mohammed Salah’s Egypt on January 11.
