Although he might not follow his father's footsteps in playing for the Super Eagles as he holds Italian citizenship.
But if the Nigeria Football Federation move to invite him for the national team, he might have a chance of mind.
Meanwhile, 35-year-old Martins last played for Chinese Super League side Shanghai Shenhua in 2018 - though, never really announced his retirement.
The former Nigerian striker won a Serie A title, two Coppa Italia and one Supercoppa Italia trophies during his five-year reign at the club.

Apart from winning laurels, the two-time African Footballer of the Year (1996 and 1999) would be delighted to see his son Sean take over from him.
