[b][size=14pt] Flying Eagles battle high altitude in Burundi [/size]  From Eaglets to Flying Eagles African U20 champions Nigeria will begin the defence of their crown Saturday afternoon with a tricky road trip to Burundi’s capital city of Bujumbura, which is over 2,500 feet above sea level. Despite its high altitude, which places additional demands on physical exercises like playing football, Bujumbura has an average weather temperature of about 29 degrees, which is warm. Home team Burundi walked over DR Congo in the first round of the qualifiers, while the Flying Eagles drew bye. New Flying Eagles coach Emmanuel Amuneke is in Burundi with the bulk of the team he guided to win the FIFA U17 World Cup last year in Chile and not one player who is playing in the country’s top-flight domestic league. Striker Victor Osimhen, who will sign a professional contract with German Bundesliga side Wolfsburg in January 2017 when he would have clocked 18 years, is the star of this team. He proved his class in the team’s heart-warming 2-1 test match win over the Nigeria Olympic team, scoring the winning goal and providing an assist for the opening goal. He has recovered from a shoulder injury he suffered in that game and along with skipper Kelechi Iheanacho and Samuel Chukwueze will be expected to inspire the U20s to victory again. The Flying Eagles are very fit, play as a team and will not be intimidated by whatever the host team throw at them. Kick-off time on Saturday is 1pm Nigerian time. http://africanfootball.com/news/628658/Flying-Eagles-battle-high-altitude-in-Burundi [/b] |

Flying Eagles outsmarted Burundi's 'grown men' - official  Nigeria’s Flying Eagles had to use their skills to outscore the “grown men” Burundi paraded in an U20 AFCON qualifier in Bujumbura, officials said. Chukwudi Agor’s second-half strike proved to be the difference between the two teams on Saturday. However, accompanying official Sunday Okayi said the youthful Flying Eagles had to make the most of their skills to dominate the game against “the grown men” Burundi played. The return leg match will be played on June 11 in Calabar with the overall winners setting up a clash with Sudan for a place at the final tournament in Zambia next year. http://africanfootball.com/mobi/mobi.php?page=article&ID=628793 3 Likes |

These guys are very funny... At the last check, they recorded 75-76mins as the time the goal was scored and didn't even report the goal scorer. But now, they have modified.... This also affected my "skeletal" updates since my sources were very very sketchy and even reported goalless as at 75mins. Funny....  Anyhow shaa... Nigeria wins. That's what matters basically. Goal scored by same guy who scored Nigeria's first goal at Chile 2015 Fifa U-17 World Cup. ......................................................................................... Nigeria's Flying Eagles win in Burundi  Nigeria beat hosts Burundi 1-0 in an U20 AFCON qualifier in Bujumbura Saturday. The first half was goalless. The match winner was scored in the 64 th minute by Chukwudi Agor. The second leg will be played in the southern coastal town of Calabar next month with the overall winners squaring up with Sudan for a place in the tournament proper in Zambia next year. Nigeria are the defending champions having won the continental crown a record seven times. Source: http://africanfootball.com/mobi/mobi.php?page=article&ID=628772 3 Likes |

[b][size=14pt] Agent Reveals An Official Announcement On Capture Of Nwakali By Arsenal Is Imminent [/size]  Kelechi Nwakali’s elder brother, Allwell Nwakali who represents the Flying Eagles poster boy, is confident that the central midfielder will be issued a work permit by the Home Office as he has been given assurances by Arsenal chiefs. Nwakali is back in Africa for international duty with the Nigeria U20s but is expected to jet out to London in the coming days to tie up the loose ends in his agreement with the Gunners, bearing in mind that he will celebrate his 18th birthday around two weeks from now. “Arsenal gave Kelechi permission to come for international duty. I have spoken to Arsenal and theyhave been asking me when he’s going to return, ” Allwell Nwakali told allnigeriasoccer.com. “As soon as he is free he will go back to Arsenal, June 5th he will be 18 and become an Arsenal player officially. Arsenal only gave him a pre-contract. “After the return leg against Burundi, he will have to go back to Arsenal and finish up before returning to Nigeria for the qualifiers.” Allwell Nwakali added :“They have stopped giving special talents automatic work permits. Wenger said he will do his best so Kelechi gets a work permit by the Grace of God. “He is in Wenger’s plans, he will do his best to make sure he plays for Arsenal.” It is envisaged that the Golden Ball winner of the 2015 Fifa Under 17 World Cup will append his signature to a five-year contract with Arsenal when he attains the age of majority next month, barring any last minute hitches.

[b][size=14pt] Exclusive : West Ham Make Bid For Nigeria U20s Midfielder Agor Chukwudi [/size]  Nigeria U20 international Agor Chukwudi is attracting concrete interest from the English Premier League, with West Ham tabling a bid of 200,000 euros for the highly-rated starlet. The 17-year-old Chukwudi is from the stable of ASJ Academy, the same nursery team where the Arsenal linked midfielder Kelechi Nwakali first cut his footballing teeth. “West Ham have offered Agor Chukwudi a straight contract without him having to undergo trials, very soon he’ll turn 18,”says CEO ASJ Academy Emeka Amajiriaku to allnigeriasoccer.com. “We are studying the offer and it is very likely we will accept it. We are interested in the player’s development and not the money that is being offered.” To make up for the meager transfer fee that has been offered by West Ham, ASJ Academy have inserted a sell-on clause in the proposed deal, giving them ten percent of the fees if the player moves on from the Londoners in future. Chukwudi was one of the unsung heroes of the Golden Eaglets at the 2015 Fifa Under 17 World Cup, featuring in their first four games during the tournament and netted against the United States in the group stage. And if his name did not ring a bell , he made the back pages after scoring the game-winner on Saturday as the Nigeria U20s beat Burundi 1-0 in an Africa U20 Cup of Nations qualifier.

[b][size=14pt] TOP FIVE PERFOMERS IN FLYING EAGLES WIN OVER BURUNDI [/size] Owngoalnigeria.com take a look at the five players who were on top of their game in the Nigeria U-20s 1-0 victory over Burundi in Bujumbura in the 2017 African Youth Championship qualifiers. Lukman Zakari: Deserve a mention for starting the move that lead to the goal scored by Nigeria, calm and composed in bringing the ball out from the back and alongside Ejike Ikwu ensured goalkepper Akpan Udoh had little to do in the encounter. Orji Okonkwo: He contributed a lot defensively to the team and showed he has grown in leaps and bounds from the last U-17 World cup, Hard to shake off the ball, he was also an outlet used by the Flying Eagles to turn defence into attack especially in the first half. Samuel Chukwueze: Guilty of squandering chances that would have killed the tie off from the first leg but still deserve a spot base on his all all round action play, neat first touch, smart dribbles and cross field passes, such a delight to watch. Victor Osimhen: Set up Chukwudi Agor for the only goal of the game, as expected he was tightly marked by the defence line of the Burundians but still carved out openings for his other teammates with Kingsley Michael and Samuel Chukwueze guilty of wasting his effort in putting them through on goal. Chukwudi Agor (MAN OF THE MATCH): The defensive midfield anchor of the Flying Eagles ended up as the unlikely goal scorer in the game but aside his goal, his all round play was exceptional, he was the leader from the middle, outshining the more illustrious and well known Kelechi Nwakali. He covered almost every blade of the pitch, protected the back four and acted as the link between defence and attack, was simply unplayable, It would have been a travesty if any other person had scored the winner. *Ahmed Ishaya owngoalnigeria.com/2016/05/22/top-five-perfomers-in-flying-eagles-win-over-burundi/ [/b] 1 Like |

[b][size=14pt] Esin Warns Flying Eagles Despite Win In Burundi [/size]  By James Agberebi: Former Nigeria international Etim Esin has described the Flying Eagles’ 1-0 first leg second round away win against Burundi in Bujumbura in the 2017 U-20 Africa Cup of Nation as a good result. Chukwudi Agor’s lone strike was the difference in the 68th minute in the first leg. Reacting to the win, Esin, in a chat with Comple tesportsnigeria.com, hailed the impact Emmanuel Amuneke has had in the team since taking charge. “It was a good result for the Flying Eagles because winning away from home especially in Africa, is never easy,” Esin told Comple tesportsnigeria.com. “And for Emmanuel Amuneke, I think he has done well since moving up from the Golden Eaglets. He has the experience and I believe he will go far with the team.” The 1987 FIFA U-20 World Cup star however warned the Flying Eagles that the tie against Burundi is still open. “The 1-0 away win is not a guarantee that the Flying Eagles have qualified for the next round. “They should not allow the first leg result get into their heads because as we all know football is unpredictable,” he advised. www.completesportsnigeria.com/etim-esin-flying-eagles-win-great-not/ [/b] 1 Like |

Imagine!!!! chaiii.. Agor was even MOTM. This team is strong abeg!!! and can only get better with the addition of some other names we've been mentioning on this thread. If David Enogela was fit (he was excused/dropped from camp by Amuneke to go take care of his injury), Agor might not even have started. It MIGHT have been Enogela, Nwakali and Michael. Interesting.... #smiles Great thing Chukwudi Agor is staking his claims for a regular feature at this level. But mehn! the competition just dey begin... hehehehehe... And to think West ham is actually offering about €200,000 according to reports for Agor shows this guy has improved of late. Very lively and mobile in midfield. Can't forget how he popped up in that position within the opponent's box to score our first goal against the USA at Chile 2015. A fast-improving player. Keep on boy... but this team got more homework shaa but mehn!!! The competition in the team don dey show little by little. BlackAlbino6: 2 Likes |

It is a step in the right direction,” Tomori told Chelsea TV “If at the start of the season someone had told me [this would happen], I would have said, ‘Steady…! “But I am thankful to God that it has happened and I have taken every game as it comes, making sure I am developing in training and doing what I need to do to improve, and it has kept on getting better for me.” The central defender is highly rated and while he currently plays for the Canada – where he was born – at the U20 level, he is still eligible for England, where he has lived since he was a toddler and also Nigeria, through his parents. http://africanfootball.com/news/628921/Nigerian-born-Tomori-says-Chelsea-debut-a-big-step [/b] 1 Like |

The 17-year-old striker was in good form for Spurs during the competition, netting in games against Feyenoord and Brazilian side Atletico Mineiro as the Londoners failed to qualify for the semifinals. “It’s been a very good experience for the boys over the last few days at a very tough tournament and I’m pleased that Christian Maghoma has continued his good form from the NextGen Series in Amsterdam last week,” McDermott told Spurs official website. “Similarly, Aramide Oteh has hopefully given himself something to build on when we come back in July by having a good end to the season.” Born at Lee Green in Lewisham, the teenager is eligible to represent the national teams of Nigeria and England but has no caps for the two nations at any level. Aramide Oteh first started training with the White Hart Lane outfit at Under-8s level. Ifeanyi Emmanuel http://www.allnigeriasoccer.com/read_news.php?nid=19143 [/b] 1 Like |

[b][size=14pt] Burundi Tie, Good Test For Flying Eagles – Amuneke [/size]  Emmanuel Amuneke, coach of Nigeria’s U-20 football team, the Flying Eagles, has said that the under-age Cup of Nations qualifier away to Burundi was a good test for his wards. The Flying Eagles defeated host, Burundi, 1-0 in Bujumbura on Saturday in the qualifier with the reverse fixture fixed for the U J Esuene Stadium in Calabar on June 11. Amuneke remarked after the game that he was impressed with the performance of his boys, but praised the host country for giving Nigeria a good test. Kingsley Michael, Samuel Chukwueze and captain Kelechi Nwakali all came close to putting Nigeria in the lead in the first half, but failed. Defensive midfielder, Chukwudi Agor, scored the match’s only goal in the 68th minute as the Flying Eagles, made up largely of last year’s FIFA U-17 World Cup champions, dominated in all aspects. The second half belonged to the Flying Eagles. Nwakali and Chukwueze were impressive with some neat dribbles and runs and their efforts finally paid off as Chukwudi Agor capitalised on good work by the duo and sold a dummy before unleashing a grounder from the edge of the box that sailed into the opponents’ net for the only goal of the match. The scoreline stood that way at full time and gave the few Nigerians present at the stadium cause to celebrate. The team is expected back in Nigeria today. - See more at: http://independentnig.com/352361-2/#sthash.uq86IQxT.dpuf [/b] 1 Like |

The former Barcelona star has it in mind that the Nigeria U20s will have to play six more games, including two potential qualifiers against Sudan, before advancing to the 2017 Fifa Under 20 World Cup in South Korea. “Success has many friends he said, today we are happy because we have brought smiles to the faces of Nigerians but as I have always emphasized, the journey is still very long and we must take each game as they come,” Amuneke told thenff.com. “We are done with the first leg, we must return to work immediately ahead of the return leg. “It is only when we have gone past that hurdle that we can breath a sigh of relief but even then, we still have Sudan to play in July to guarantee a spot at the CAF U-20 Nations cup in Zambia.” The Nigeria U20s delegation returned to the country on Monday and will begin training for the second leg against the Swallows on Tuesday evening, before their trip to Calabar the following day.
