Oshaniwa excited to clinch Europa League spot
Nigeria defender Juwon Oshaniwa has revealed he is thrilled to be part of Hearts team who have clinched a spot in next season’s UEFA Europa League.
Hearts, who made a return to the Scottish Premier League just this season, are third on the league table with 60 points from 33 games after a goalless draw at Inverness on Tuesday in a rescheduled game.
They are now a staggering 16 points clear of closest rivals Motherwell.
Scottish champions will feature in the UEFA Champions League qualifiers, while the runners-up and third-placed team qualify for the Europa League.
“I feel great and happy about the achievement. It has been God all the way,” Oshaniwa enthused.
The 25-year-old Oshaniwa has made 20 appearances in the league for Hearts in his debut season in Scotland.
On what has been the driving force of the team, the ex-FC Ashdod of Israel left back said it was determination and team work.
“Determination, hard work and team work responsible for our achievement,” he stated.
