The Lagos-born star was one of the best players in the just-concluded Nigeria Professional Football League (NPFL) season.
His exemplary showing with The People’s Elephants in the league and on the continent earned him a call-up to the Super Eagles team in March, making his debut as a substitute in the Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) qualifiers against Benin and Lesotho.
He featured in the double-header international friendly against Cameroon in June.
Anayo also led the home-based Super Eagles out in the friendly against Mexico last month.
The winger kicked off his professional career in 2018 at Kada City before joining Delta Force. He was thereafter snatched by Enyimba.
