“It is great that we can add Tyronne Ebuehi to our selection. In his time at ADO Den Haag, Tyronne has shown to be a talented player. It is not without reason that he was selected for the national team of Nigeria and played at the 2018 World Cup. In his first year with Benfica, Tyronne had a difficult season due to an injury, but last year he made his appearance for Benfica B. He is top fit and will hopefully be able to fully join our selection soon.” Jan SteuerSo far, Ebuehi who made his first appearance for the Super Eagles during an international friendly against Togo in 2017, boasts eight caps with the three-time African champions. Reviving his career will surely earn him a recall to the Eagles fold. Source: Goal Featured Image Source: Complete Sports
