Tottenham striker Emmanuel Adebayor has backed Nigeria to be the African nation that will go the furthest at the 2014 World Cup in Brazil.
The Super Eagles are one of five countries representing the continent at the showpiece event along with Ghana, Ivory Coast, Cameroon and Algeria.
However, Adebayor believes Nigeria are the better equipped than the other sides to go far in the tournament.
“Out of these teams, it [my choice for which of the African teams will go the furthest] would be Nigeria because of their concentration,” the Togo international told The Express.
“Because of Stephen Keshi [the coach] – he knows a lot about football and everything. He has been there as well as a player for Nigeria.
“And they have got Victor Moses, who is a great friend of mine, and I like the way he plays.
“Jon Obi Mikel played a lot for Chelsea this year and showed how good he is. Their goalkeeper (Enyeama) is very good.
“Nigeria have all the ingredients to be good in the World Cup.”
