The hard tackling player is one of the highly-rated defensive midfielders in the German Bundesliga 2 and according to him, it will be a dream come true if he is invited into the team.

"You know that every player wants to play for his country and for me, I have been playing active football in Europe for the past four seasons moving Norway to Germany. I am waiting for a call-up to serve my nation so if the opportunity comes why not, I will gladly welcome it," Aremu said.

"I am a very disciplined player so if I get the needed call up, I will be able to mastermind the midfield for years to come. It will be a dream come true.

Aremu expressed optimism on the Super Eagles' hopes of qualifying for the World Cup at the expense of Ghana.

"We have a quality squad capable of beating Ghana at the playoffs," he mused.

"The coaches also have what it takes to help the Super Eagles overcome the hurdle."
