The FC Nantes left winger says he believes the Super Eagles can go all the way to win Nigerias fourth AFCON title if every one of the players gives it their best shot, adding that the team is blessed with some of the best players in the continent.
Yes, we may not be playing the kind of football that catches the eye presently but we have the quality and talents to win the AFCON in Cote DIvoire. We will give it our best shot to win the title for ourselves and the country, Simon told Completesports.com.

We may not entertain or play flowing football, but we can win the cup with the quality and doggedness we boast of. Havent you seen teams play ugly football to get results? We wont play ugly, but we may not play the best football to win in Cote dIvoire.
I am not saying we wont try to entertain, but our main aim in Cote DIvoire will be to play to win the title. We will be purposeful and direct, but it all depends on how the coach wants us to go about it. We play as the coach wants us to play, but we just want to win the title, the Nantes forward concluded.
The Super Eagles are in Group A with hosts Cote DIvoire, Equatorial Guinea, and Guinea Bissau at the AFCON 2023 scheduled to get underway from January 13 until February 11, 2024.
Super Eagles last won the AFCON title in 2013 when South Africa hosted the tournament with the late Stephen Keshi as coach.
