SIDNEY SAM not ready for Nigeria

Stephen Keshi has revealed that Bayer Leverkusen star Sidney Sam may not be ready to play for Nigeria.Keshi, who had planned to visit Germany to talk to Sam, said he would now rather allow the winger to make up his mind on his international future. “I have called Sam over 15 times and each time, the phone dovetails into voice mail and I have always left message, but the player has not responded to any of my messages, that to me is shocking and says a lot about his readiness or otherwise to play for the Super Eagles,” Keshi said. Keshi said while he has not given up on the player, he has for the meantime decided to look beyond him and try other willing Nigerians, even as he has employed some scouts to work on Sam, who has capped by Germany at various age- grade levels.
