Dream Team 4 goalkeeper trainer, Best Ogedegbe has dispelled the notion that Super Eagles keeper, Vincent Enyeama would usurp the number one shirt in goal from current first-choice, Ambrose Vanzekin.

While disclosing that it will be an open camp, Ogedegbe revealed to brilafm.net that Enyeama will have to fight for a place with the team in goal, as no player can boast of having an automatic shirt.

"Enyeama is the only over-aged goalkeeper we invited to beef up the team, but that does not mean he's coming straight to take over the number one position. He will have to fight for his shirt.

"It's going to be an open camp, everybody will get a chance to get a shirt. We will make the selection a very open process and everybody will be there to see," Ogedegbe promised.
