Seatle Sounders forward and former Eagles lead striker has said that he would love to once again play for the Super Eagles.
The USA based striker is in a hot streak of form and has scored his 13th gal of the season in Sounder’s 3-2 home victory over Real Salt Lake on Friday .
He has been only invited twice to the Super Eagles twice in the last three years.
He said: I said at the start of the season if I was doing well for Seattle and scoring goals, I’d have a chance with Nigeria”.
“But firstly, I want to play regularly here and try to help Seattle Sounders win a trophy.”
Obafemi hopes to feature in Eagles crucial double header against
Sudan with qualification for the 2015 African Cup of Nations looking
very slim.
“It’s the coach’s decision to invite players but if I can get a recall to the national team, I’ll be honoured,” he added.
“I just need to continue my form here in the United States, give my all to this club and let other things happen naturally.
“I love my country and I always want Nigeria to do well with me in the squad or not.
“If I get another chance, great, and if not, I can only wish my country all the best,” he concluded.
Martins has featured 39 times for the Super Eagles and has scored 18 goals in the way.
