Coach Stephen Keshi will also be running his eye over Belgium-based strikers Imoh Ezekiel and Michael Uchebo and former junior internationals Ramon Azeez and Shehu Abdullahi as he ponders his selection for Brazil later this year.

Nigeria are in Group F with Argentina, Bosnia Herzegovina and Iran at the World Cup finals.
