While many of us have been excited by the developments of our Nigerian talents like Kelechi Iheanacho, Chidera Eze, Nwakali and others, I want to introduce other teenage Nigeria players who are doing wonderfully well for their clubs.


1. Bobby Adekanye:

Bobby Adekanye is a fantastic talent who plays for Barcelona youth team. He is also the the captain of Barcelona under 17 team. He has been recently likened to the young Lionel Messi. Even Messi himelf refered Bobby's left foot as "electrifying". His parents are based in Holland

Our under21 National Coach has plenty work to do.

2. Uche Ikpeazu:

Uche is someone I know their family personally. Just like many footballers like Ricardo Kaka, Uche is a very religious person. His cousin was recently ordained a catholic priest at the Catholic diocese of Mbaise in Imo state. He is a forward who plays for Watford in UK. He was born in London in 1995. Very very talented

3.Oluwaseyi Ojo

This a boy I had followed all the way from MK Dons untilmy darling club, Liverpool secured his services. His pace makes Raheem Sterling and Gareth Bale Look average. He currently plays for Liverpool U17. He also has been capped by England youth team. But still Eligible to play for Nigeria. Fantastic winger! Aged; 16years.

Chukwuemeka Aneke

One of the exciting talents Arsenal fc had in their youth ranks. Unfortunately, It didn't work out for him at d north London club. He currently plays in Holland. Chuks Aneke is a central midfielder. 20years

Jordon Ibe

Another big thing to happen at Liverpool after Raheem Sterling is the emergence of Jordon Ibe!

Unlike Sterling, Jordon has the body structure that makes him look very intimidating on the wings. His pace is classic. He's 18years old. Currently doing well at Liverpool.

SanTiago Ilori;

Tiago is a 21year old player who plays for Liverpool. He spent last season on loan t Gatefe. He's known to be a very strong central defender. He currently plays for Portugal U20. But also eligible to play for Nigeria and England. His father is Nigerian and mother is Portugues, but was born in London.

*to me, Ilori is better than all our national team central defenders*

These are the ones I can remember their names for now.

Am very sure there are many of these boys spread across the youth teams in England and Europe.
Our NFF should be very active in convincing these lads to represent Nigeria. Uche Ikpeazu tells me everyday how proud he would feel to play for Nigeria!

It surprises me that even at 19, we don't knw much abt them. Especially Bobby Adekanye, the guy in Barcelona.

There are other two who have Igbo names and play for Tottentham Hotspurs. We should remember that the current Spurs U21 coach is a Nigerian.

These guys with the likes of Kelechi Iheanacho, Chidera Eze, Nwakali;

Super Eagles are dreaming!!!

God bless Nigeria

Thanks for the thread, but our FA is unserious. cold shivers ran down my spine when you mentioned that they have been capped at youth level by dome countries.....we may lose these talents

Jesus!! Bobby Adekanye is a Nigerian? I saw one of barca U15 tour to aspire academy. Bobby is crazy with is left foot. I doubt spain or Holland would allow him play for us. Useless FA we have in this country.

Ur welcome bro.
Believe me, both Jordon Ibe and Seyi Ojo are almost lost to England.

The good thing is that we can convince them. Because currently england has more than 20 players on the flanks. Walcott, Townsend, Milner, Sterling and many others.

Our FA should be serious about their scouting job. Invite these boys in 2016, take them to brazil olympics. That's the only way we can secure their future. Am not making case for Uche Ikpeazu, but believe me, he's better than Moses currently and hasn't been capped by england. It's very easy to get him.

Seyi Ojo wears jersey number 10 for England youth team. You can imagine how important he is to them.
