Responding to reports of interest from both Nigeria and Germany, Justin Njinmah, the Bundesliga’s 12th fastest player from Hamburg, addressed the speculations. The media in both countries have linked the player to the Super Eagles and Germany, considering his dual eligibility through his father and place of birth.
Njinmah, who kickstarted his career with Borussia Dortmund, has become a subject of attention after a standout season at Werder Bremen. While both nations are keeping tabs on him, Germany seems to have an edge in securing his services.
At 23 years old, Njinmah has claimed the 12th spot on the list of the Bundesliga’s fastest players, reaching a top speed of 35.53 km/h. In response to the reports, he shared with Bild, “Nick Woltemade showed me in the dressing room that that was in the article. When you hear that you’re on the national team’s list and they notice you, it motivates every player to keep going and get even better. If you continue to accelerate now, it might not be as far off as you always imagined.”
