Super Eagles forward, Odion Ighalo has declared his readiness to fight for a spot in the team ahead of 2018 World Cup in June.
The Changchun Yatai striker is seen as one of the sure berths to make the final 23-man squad but the former Lyn Oslo star is not taking anything for granted.
“Everyone in the team is competition for me,” Ighalo revealed during a live studio interview with supersport. “I have to fight for my place in the team because I cannot go to sleep and say my place is secured in the team.”
Ighalo then spoke the squad depth of Gernot Rohr’s men, who were drawn in Group B alongside Argentina, Iceland and Croatia.
“Against Argentina, I was not there and the coach played Kelechi (Iheanacho) and (Alex) Iwobi in attack and they performed. So, I need to fight for my place in the team,” he added.
