Pinnick is waxing lyrical about the prospect of having the QPR star in the Super Eagles.

"We need to make a solid representation at
Qatar 2022 and it starts with improving on our squad with quality players like Eze," he told BBC Sport.

"Can you imagine a midfield with [Wilfred] Ndidi, [Joe] Aribo, [Oghenekaro] Etebo and Eze? It is one that will improve our squad.

“I had a positive meeting with Ebere Eze in London and I spoke to his parents as well.

He requested for the chance to continue to focus on his club career which is going well so far, and that further progress will be made in due course.

"But I am confidently hopeful he will play for Nigeria soon."

Eberechi Eze is an attacking midfielder, he has scored four goals for QPR in the championship in 11 appearances.
