Former Cote d’Ivoire forward, Salomon Kalou claimed the Super Eagles will be a big threat to the Elephants at the 2023 Africa Cup of Nations.
Cote d’Ivoire, Nigeria, Equatorial Guinea and Guinea-Bissau are drawn in Group A for the competition.
The Elephants and Super Eagles are scheduled to meet at the Alhassan Quattara Stadium, Ebimpe, Abidjan on January 18.
Kalou believed Jose Peseiro’s side are a ‘dangerous side’ who will be a tough nut to crack for the host nation.
“Firstly, it’s a group made up of very good teams, starting with Nigeria which is a very dangerous side. At each AFCON, the Super Eagles show great potential,” Kalou told CAFonline. READ ALSO:

“During the last edition, Equatorial Guinea did well, and Guinea Bissau may be the surprise of the group.
“We will have to respect all the teams and above all, win the first match to start the competition well, because that is where everything starts from.”
Cote d’Ivoire will host the 34th edition of the AFCON finals from January 13 to February 11, 2024.
