Slavia Prague midfielder Mubarak Suleiman has reflected on his maiden invitation to the Super Eagles.
Suleiman is the only new player included in Nigeria's 24-man squad for the 2027 Africa Cup of Nations double-header against the Taifa Stars of Tanzania.
The youngster has caught everyone's eye with his impressive performances for Slavia Prague this season.
The 19-year-old has scored three goals and registered three assists in six appearances across all competitions for the Yellow and Reds this season.
Suleiman said he has been longing to be part of the Super Eagles.
“I believed my form was okay, and an opportunity would come, but I didn’t think the opportunity would come with the senior team. So, when I got the call-up, I was so happy," Suleiman told the Super Eagles media.
