World Cup list: Nigerians claim Kenneth Omeruo paid online influencers

Kenneth Omeruo

Nigerians have called out Kenneth Omeruo for allegedly paying Twitter influencers to promote his chances of making Super Eagles’ World Cup squad.

Head coach, Gernot Rohr, is expected to announce his 35-man provisional squad for Russia on Monday.

And sceptics have wondered why the 24-year-old is trending on the same day.

Omeruo on loan at Kasimpasa from Chelsea has made 37 appearances for Nigeria.

He was a key cog at the 2014 edition in Brazil but has fallen out of favour since Rohr’s appointment.
