FC Krasnodar loanee German Onugkha has ended speculation over his international future by revealing that he wants to represent Russia ahead of Nigeria.
Born in Moscow twenty four years ago, the in-form Vejle Boldklub dare-devil qualifies to represent the Super Eagles if he invokes the granny rule as he has a Nigerian father.
Onugkha recently earned rave reviews for his hat-trick in Vejle’s thrilling 3-3 draw with AC Horsens, a brilliant individual display that saw him named Player of the Round in the Danish Superliga.
The striker is confident that he can break into the Russian national team in the next one-and-a-half years.
Onugkha played for FC Torpedo Tamala, FC Narovchat, FC Atmis Kevdo-Melsitovo, FC Zenit-M Penza and FC Volgar Astrakhan prior to his move to Krasnodar in 2018.
