Ivory Coast Star Sends Warning To Nigeria Ahead Of AFCON Final

Ivory Coast star Sebastien Haller has sent a warning to Nigeria ahead of this evening's Africa Cup of Nations final.

Haller, who scored against Congo DR this week, says the Elephants have revenge on their minds.

"We are playing the final against Nigeria. It is a great nation. It is heavy. They beat us in the group stage," Haller stated, as per BeIN Sports

"We're already fired up to claim the trophy this Sunday in front of the Ivorian crowd in this stadium. We are eager to take revenge on Nigeria."

Interim coach Emerse Faé is also aiming to add a third star to the Elephants jersey.

"Tomorrow, we have a great opportunity to keep the trophy at home. We know that when you organize a tournament, it is difficult to go on and win it," the coach said, as per CAF.

"We have made the final and tomorrow, we have the opportunity to achieve this feat and at the same time, add a third star to the orange jersey of Côte d'Ivoire."
