Austin Eguavoen confirms discussion with ex-Chelsea star over a return to the Super Eagles

Super Eagles coach Austin Eguavoen has admitted that he had a discussion with Spartak Moscow winger Victor Moses over a potential return to the team.

Moses has 37 caps for Nigeria, scoring 12 goals, but he has not played for the team since he retired from international football after the 2018 World Cup in Russia.

However, due to his impressive form for Spartak in the Russian top-flight, there have been reports of him making a shock return to the national team.

Eguavoen has now confirmed the reports, saying he had a talk with the ex-Chelsea man, although he stopped short of revealing the result of the discussion.
