Before he travelled out to Libya, the former Lobi Stars top striker went on trials at Norwegian club SK Brann.
Owing to his electrifying pace and goal scoring ability, he was invited for a record five times by Coach Stephen keshi to the senior national team camp.
Okpotu who is currently on holiday in Nigeria said if given a chance to be part of the camping for the 2014 World Cup, he would give his best to make the final team.
He said the coach who invited him five times to camp saw some special qualities in him and now that his game has improved more than before, he won’t be surprise if he is handed another invitation.
Okpotu maintained that Keshi is a man who believes in giving equal opportunities for every good player to fight for shirt in the Super Eagles so nobody should rule out the possibility of new players coming into the team.
“I am not done with the Super Eagles and the 2014 World Cup. I am still thinking of representing my country in Brazil. Before I travelled out, I was a regular in the Super Eagles camp.
“I am very sure that Coach Stephen Keshi saw some qualities in me which he wanted to put to good use. These same qualities are there or should I say have got better and I believe I can still mix with the big boys, if given a chance.
“Keshi is a fantastic manager. He knows what he wants and if in the end he feels that more players too should be given a chance to fight for Brazil 2014 shirt that would be fantastic. Nobody should conclude that the squad for Brazil is ready. It is only the coach who can decide on that”, he noted.
