Nigerian Footballers Playing In England Is Dwindling by Christmasdon(m): 4:28pm On Sep 01, 2013
Most of our players are not getting the attentions from the Epl. Why is it so.

Your question needs to be qualified with perspective, what do you actually mean by Nigerian ? born in Nigeria, Nigerian parentage and or who have come out of our indigenous football league.

If the determinant is Nigerian parentage probably 20% of all black players in this regard are Nigerian, furthermore there is not a premiership academy that does not have a Nigerian player or players from my personnel observations.

Jordan Ibe is now a 1st team member @ Liverpool, Tiago Ilori jst joined Liverpool frm sportin Lisbon. With Victor Moses now in Liverpool we have 3 Nigerians with d current league leaders. Other notable Nigerians in d Epl include: Mikel (Chelsea), Omeruah (Chelsea), Ameobi(New Castle), Anichebe (Everton), Odemwingie ( Cardiff). This is d highest 4 any African country.

Syenite, waiting in the wings in the academy at Liverpool is Oluwaseyi "Seyi" Ojo bought for £1.8 million a year ago from MK Dons.

Academy players are just too many to mention all looking to be future stars for instance Uche Ikpeazu highest goal scores in the history of the U18 league now at Watford fc.

Players of Nigerian origin in the EPL really just too many to mention, Agbonlahor, Carlton Cole, Sammy Ameobi, Barkley at Everton etc , etc,

Why haven't they called up this dude for the junior eagles, later they will be cursing them if they refuse to play for the senior team later into their career

28 goals in 28games shocked shocked
Some the current junior players dont have stats to justify their inclusion in the team

It "s a good sign that World Cup is coming to Africa and Nigeria will bring the World Cup ....wirh time ,those in the academy will mature and become the best legs in the world , and they will come and play for their fatherland ...expect nothing less than the World Cup when they "re fully matured .
