Tunisia forward Sebastian Tounekti has said beating Nigeria’s Super Eagles will be a statement win for them.

Speaking to journalists before Tunisia’s training on Friday Tounekti, who is a teammate with Nigeria international Kelechi Iheanacho, said:”I think they have a lot of quality players in their squad and when you look at their wingers you look at Lookman who has been brilliant for his national team and Atalanta.

“Expectations going into this game is really good, we are looking forward to a big game against a big nation. We know that we are going to meet a team that is really good and with players that play at the highest level.
