Martins has told coach Gernot Rohr to
consider him for selection in the build up to

“I am never through with international
football. If the new coach of Nigeria Gernot
Rohr needs me, I will gladly honour his call.
I am fitter than ever. .
“You have to respect the quality of the
young players who are coming through
with
the national team, they deserve to be given
their chance in the team,” said Obafemi.
He argued that the Chinese league, which
has continued to attract Nigerian players,
was not as weak as people make it to be.
“Playing in China is way higher than in the
past, we now have top model professionals
in the league, so it’s no longer a case of if
you go to China, you are winding down your
career”.
