The former Everton star spent the 2020-21 season on loan at Turkish topflight side, Galatasaray, scoring five goals and five assists in 19 appearances for them.

However, his performances in Faraway Turkey aren't enough to earn him a spot in coach Gernot Rohr's 24-man revised list for the international friendly against Cameroon.

Despite breaking into the Super Eagles squad in 2017, the attacker has only played 11 games for his country in all competitions with just one goal credited to his name.

Though he was part of the team that won the bronze medal at the 2019 AFCON championship in Egypt, he was not a regular in coach Gernot Rohr's squad with the likes of Moses Simon, Samuel Chukwueze and a few others preferred over him.
