AS Roma adopts Nigeria for tournament in Russia

Italian Serie A side Roma has come out to back Nigeria at the 2018 World Cup in Russia.
The club initially posted news of the Super Eagles squad on Twitter and one of Nigeria president Muhammadu Buhari's personal assistants thanked Roma.
In response the Italian club posted: "Good luck to the squad at the @FIFAWorldCup in Russia.
"Italy won't be there, so #ASRoma will be supporting our own players and the #SuperEagles - #ForzaSuperEagles."
The Italian side have two Nigerians on their books, Nura Abdullahi and Umar Sadiq - neither of whom have been included in the Super Eagles' preliminary World Cup squad.
Abdullahi spent last season on loan at Italian rivals Perugia while Sadiq was at Dutch side NAC Breda.
Egypt may well be disappointed not to get Roma's backing given that the Pharaohs' key striker Mohamed Salah spent two seasons at the club.
Nigeria have been drawn in Group D at the World Cup and will play Argentina, Iceland and Croatia.

They need to adopt Sadiq into their team. Nigeria already has millions of parents.

Forget about the racist Romans, Nigeria and Senegal are now everybody’s favourite team amongst black Africans. Eagles and Lions make us proud.

Senegal is kai bra going in under the radar but I certainly think they have a ton of talent. They can get to the semis. Good luck to Cisse!

You have to give it to agents. They are becoming very creative. Sadiq need to give his agents kudos for this.
