Udoh hoping to make impact against Ghana

Top scorer in the history of the Nigerian league Mfon Udoh hopes to make an impact with the Super Eagles in their friendly game against the Black Meteors of Ghana on Friday at the new Uyo International Stadium.

The home based Eagles are to open the newly build stadium when they take on Ghana’s U23’s in an international friendly at the multi-billion naira edifice in the Akwa Ibom State capital and Udoh, who hails from Akwa Ibom state, says he hopes to make a big impact not just before his home fans, but to cement a regular spot in the Eagles.

“I’m really excited with this opportunity and I really want to make an impact,” he began. “It’s a big one for me because I’ll be playing in my home state but that is not the biggest attraction for me. The biggest attraction is to play well enough and prove myself so I can get more invitations,” he told SL10.ng.

The Enyimba striker has scored 21 goals in the Nigeria Professional Football League this season, breaking Jude Aneke’s previous record of 20 goals but he admits he still has to make an impact with the Eagles.

“I’m happy with my scoring form for my club but I still have to make an impact. It’s the same football we are going to play, but it’s a different environment and I hope to make the best use of it,” he said humbly.
