He said:

''Congratulations my son, I’m so proud of you. I wish you a long and successful career.''

Musa reacts to Maussi signing

Reacting to Maussi's move to Monza, Kwara FA Chairman, Idris Musa explained to Sports Brief that he would advise the NFF chiefs to ensure the youngster plays for Nigeria and not the European nation.

''We all know that kind of striker Martins was in the Super Eagles and I'm sure his son would take after his father. I will make sure that the NFF make him play for Nigeria and not Italy.''

Maussi has represented Italy at the Under-15 level and representing the Azzurri could be a logical next step.

Small Doctor calls Obafemi Martins

Sports Brief earlier reported on a video showing Small Doctor telling former Super Eagles striker, Martins to send his account number.

The musician placed a call to the ex-Inter Milan player and claimed he would send him a large amount of money.

Martins was heard laughing when Small Doctor asked for his details, telling the 26-year-old that he would use the money to buy groundnuts.
