Newly invited Super Eagles midfielder, Shehu Abdullahi, stated with enthusiasm that he hopes to take his latest Eagles call-up with both hands.

The former Kano Pillars ace said he hopes to make his invitation worthwhile after his debut against Mexico in the USA last year.

"My first cap was against Mexico in USA," Shehu said.

"So, I feel so happy with another invitation to Super Eagles. I have been waiting for this opportunity, now that I have it, I will take it with both hands.

The former Plateau United star could play as a defensive midfielder or at right back.

He won Emirs Cup and Super Cup in 2014/2015 season.

He featured for Nigeria at the 2013 FIFA U20 World Cup and the 2014 CHAN, but missed out on the recent All Africa Games football event in Congo Brazzaville because his Portuguese club did not release him.
