Warri Wolves goalkeeper Daniel Akpeyi will provide
competition for Gombe United's Chigozie Agbim when Nigeria coach Stephen Keshi
names his preliminary squad for this summer's World Cup in Brazil.
Keshi is scheduled to meet with the NFF Technical
Committee on Tuesday in Abuja where he will present and defend his selections.
Four goalkeepers are expected to be named in that
selection, and KickOffNigeria.com understands that Akpeyi, who is Okiemute
Odah's deputy at Wolves, will join Vincent Enyeama, Austin Ejide and Agbim.
The 27 year-old former junior international has played
two games in the 7-week old Nigeria Premier League, both times coming as a
result of suspension to Odah.
Agbim, 29, captain of the Super Eagles B side, was widely
criticized for what was considered a shaky performance at the African Nations
Championship in South Africa in February.
The goalie received the backing of Keshi but will now
have to fight off competition from Akpeyi to make the trip to Brazil.
