Former Super Eagles forward Daniel Amokachi is keen to play again for Nigeria in the Star Sixes tournament which commences in July, Goal.com has reported.
Star Sixes is a six-a-side tournament for former internationals that is scheduled to hold at the O2 Arena from July 13 to July 16.
Amokachi who netted 13 times in 44 games for the Super Eagles will join Jay-Jay Okocha in the Nigeria squad which has been drawn in Group B alongside Brazil, Italy and China.
The former Everton and Club Brugge forward disclosed that he is excited and more than ready to play against his former teammates.
โI canโt wait to get started,โ Amokachi told Evertonfc.com.
โItโs a great platform to play with and against ex-teammates and some legends of the game that played in the same generation.
โJay-Jay Okocha first approached me about it. Weโve known each other for a long time, even before him I was very close friends with his older brother. Weโre more like family than friends.
โIt will be a great event and hopefully I will get to see plenty of Evertonians there. I always try to keep up my fitness, so Iโm ready to play. Letโs see what happens!โ
Amokachi was recently appointed the technical director for Finnish second division outfit JS Hercules after completing his one-year contract as manager.
