By Adeboye Amosu: Sparta Rotterdam midfielder Ryan Sanusi is eyeing a place in Nigeria’s squad for the 2018 FIFA World Cup in Russia, reports Completesportsnigeria.com.
The 25-year-old who has a Nigerian father and a Belgian mother is a nephew of Belgium international Moussa Dembele who plays for Tottenham Hotspur in the English Premier League.
Sanusi is eligible to play for both Nigeria and Belgium although he has already represented the latter at the U-20 level.
“It’s not something I’m really working on, but it would of course be great,” he told Dutch newspaper Het Algemeen Dagblad.
“The Red Devils (Belgium) are far too ambitious. After all, every player wants the highest possible, which is the World Cup., you can not come higher than a World Cup as a footballer.
“You always aim to play at the World Cup as a footballer but the Belgian team will be a difficult story for me.
