Super Eagles technical adviser, Gernot Rohr, has said that striker, Obafemi Martins stands a chance of being included in his World Cup plans if he maintains his scoring form in his Chinese club, Shanghai Shenhua.
Rohr told KweseESPN that he is willing to add Martins to his squad to increase his striking options.
“Yes, the door is open to all our best players, including Martins,” Rohr said.
“He is scoring a lot of goals and we need to get competition for all the positions, especially centre-forward.
“For now, we have Kelechi (Iheanacho) who is playing not all the time. (But) we played with Kelechi against Argentina and he did well.
“Then Anthony Nwakaeme also did well against Algeria and Odion Ighalo, who is injured now, did very well against Cameroon.
“But we have also other players, like the young boy Victor Osimhen, and we have to look everywhere.
“We have a lot of opportunities for the strikers, and so Martins, if he is scoring goals, will be welcome.”
Martins has scored 16 goals in 39 appearances for Shanghai Shenhua.
His last goal came on Sunday when the club won the Chinese FA Cup after beating SIPG 3-2.
