Nigerian international Samuel Chukwueze has set winning a title with the Super Eagles as the only condition that can make him end his career with the three-time African champions.

The Villarreal star who is currently inside the camp of the Nigerian side made this known in Lagos as he and his teammates are preparing for the coming clash against Sierra Leone.

Jose Peseiro and his wards will on Sunday in Liberia face Sierra Leone in an African Cup of Nations qualifier which is expected to be a challenging battle between these two nations.

Super Eagles are on nine points and are second behind Guinea-Bissau after four games in Group A.

The Nigerian side only needs a win or draw for them to qualify for the next African Cup of Nations.

According to the report on Complete Sports, Chukwueze explained that he wants to win a trophy with the Super Eagles before he hangs his boots.

“We want to win the AFCON for sure because we have great young talents and we have young players who are actually ready to fight.
“For me, I need to win a trophy with the Super Eagles because I cannot play to the end of my career without winning any trophy with the Super Eagles. This is our time.”

AC Milan wants Samuel Chukwueze
