No way to Norway!

.Eagles striker in Norwegian trouble
SUPER Eagles home based forward, Gbolahan Salami may miss the Sep­tember 5, Nigeria, Tanza­nia AFCON 2017

quali­fier in Dar es Salaam, no thanks, to a move he is making to secure a club in Norway.
Salami who plies his trade with Glo Pre­mier League side, Warri Wolves may not be with his travel documents for the game having depos­ited same for a yet to be issued visa with the Nor­wegian embassy who ap­peared not in a hurry to do so.
A Super Eagles camp source disclosed yester­day that the striker who was on target in the game against Chad at the Ahma­du Bello Stadium, Kaduna in June was worried that the Norwegian embassy may scuttle his dream of flying out with the Eagles to Dar es Salaam for the AFCON 2017 qualifier.
According to our source, Salami’s passport had been at the embassy in the last one month without visa. The player’s agent we further gathered had approached the em­bassy to release the pass­port if they are not ready to issue him with the needed travel documents without luck.
“As we speak, the situa­tion is unsettling the play­er in camp and if nothing urgent is done, he may miss the Tanzania tie.”
It would be noted that Salami’s Eagles’ profile has been on the rise de­spite being a home based player. He had already won over the new Super Eagles coach, Sunday Oliseh, with his quality and excellent attitude in training. It was expected that he will make the cut for the Tanzania match as well as the international friendly against Niger Republic in Port Har­court on September 8.
