Keshi hails Enyeama’s return to Israel


Enyeama
Super Eagles coach Stephen Keshi has hailed Nigeria’s number one goalkeeper, Vincent Enyeama, for making a return to Israel after a tumultuous time in the French Ligue One.
Eagles keeper Enyeama joined Maccabi Tel-Aviv from French side Lille on a season-long loan on Wednesday, after falling down the pecking order at the French club.
The Nigerian international arrived in France last summer from Maccabi rivals Hapoel but the move has so far failed to work out with the 29-year-old only playing three games.
Last season Enyeama was Lille’s second keeper behind former French international Mickael Landreau but he has been pushed to third choice after coach Rudi Garcia recently acquired Steeve Elana from Brest.
But Keshi believes Enyeama’s move was the best for the Nigerian number one, saying the player needed regular club action in order to remain relevant in the national team.
