“I honestly don’t think I’ve let it settle in yet. It’s quite rapid and to be called up without going through the youth teams doesn’t normally come around,” he pointed out.”
Before his first competitive appearance for the Super Eagles, Moffi featured in two appearances in back-to-back friendlies against Cameroon, and he has now set his sight of representing the country in major tournaments.
“As a Nigerian, you want to play in major competitions like the Africa Cup of Nations and World Cup. I hope I get my chance.” He told BBC Africa.
