Hatters Hero Elijah Adebayo eyes Super Eagles call-up after stellar Luton displays in Premier League

Luton Town’s in-form striker, Elijah Adebayo, is setting his sights on representing the Nigerian national team, the Super Eagles, following an exceptional season.

Standing tall at 6 feet 4 inches, the 26-year-old has been a standout performer, scoring nine goals in 23 appearances since Luton’s elevation to the Premier League.

Adebayo, who boasts a Nigerian heritage, believes his family roots and outstanding performances could pave the way for his dream call-up to the Super Eagles.

In a video shared on X, he expressed his pride in his Nigerian background, stating, “Heritage is big for me, obviously. My mum was born in Nigeria… I am proud to be Nigerian and I would love to play for Nigeria.”

The striker’s journey from non-league football to becoming a key player in Luton’s bid for Premier League promotion showcases his remarkable rise in English football.

His physical presence, aerial prowess, and leadership on the field have posed significant challenges for Premier League defenses this season.

With Nigeria seeking to rejuvenate their squad following World Cup setbacks, Adebayo’s consistent form could earn him a place in consideration for the Super Eagles squad.

If he continues to excel and helps propel Luton to an unexpected return to the top flight, his case for international selection will undoubtedly strengthen, making him a compelling candidate for competitive action with the Eagles.
