Derik Osede whose father is Nigerian and mother Spanish,
revealed to BBC Sports that he will love to play for the Super
Eagles someday.
The 22 year old former Spain youth international defender,
who is a regular for Real Madrid’s B side, is free to play for
Nigeria because he has not yet played for Spain’s senior
national team.
“I have lived in Spain all my life and I am not sure the
people in Nigeria are aware that I have Nigerian blood. I
crave for something special with Nigeria because it will
give me a chance to properly connect with the ancestral
home of my father. My father is from Benin City and
even though I have never been there I always follow
events in Nigeria. I celebrated when the country won the
Africa Cup of Nations in 2013 and I was cheering the
team at the last World Cup in Brazil.”
