Nigeria’s national football team has confirmed the death of former striker, Michael Eneramo.
Eneramo reportedly collapsed and died while training on Friday morning in Kaduna.
Efforts to revive the 40-year-old ultimately proved abortive.
In the 10 times he played for the Super Eagles, Eneramo scored three times.
And in a post on their official X page, the Eagles wrote: “Rest in peace Michael.”
Eneramo played for Nigeria Premier Football League, NPFL, side Lobi Stars, before moving abroad, where he began his professional career with Tunisian giants, Espérance Sportive de Tunis.
He played mostly in Turkey for clubs like Sivasspor, Beşiktaş, Karabükspor, Istanbul Başakşehir, and Manisaspor.
