We’ll pick the best keeper for Eagles – Agu

Formal Super Eagles goalkeeper coach Alloy Agu has said only the best will be selected to man the post when the team tackle Algeria in the 2018 FIFA World Cup qualifier on Saturday in Uyo.

First-choice keeper Carl Ikeme is out injured and there is a tight competition between the trio of Dele Alampasu, a former Golden Eaglets

keeper, Ikechukwu Ezenwa and Daniel Akpeyi for who gets coach Gernot Rohr’s nod for the game.
