Stellar Group, the UK’s biggest football agency,
have achieved a major coup on the international
stage by signing up four stars of Nigeria’s
Under 17 World Cup-winning side.
The quartet are led by attacking midfielder
Kelechi Nwakali, who styles his game on Yaya
Toure and was voted the most valuable player at
the tournament in Chile. The others are striker
Samuel Chukwueze, who scored three goals at
the recent World Cup, and two more midfielders
in David Enogena and Joel Osikel.
All are expected to sign for top European clubs
in the January transfer window, with Bayern
Munich, Paris Saint-Germain, Manchester City
and Arsenal among those interested. Nwakali has already been linked with City, who
signed his brother Chidiebere — now on loan in
Spain — after the 2013 Under 17 World Cup.
Stellar, founded by David Manasseh and
Jonathan Barnett, employ their own scouts and
have a brilliant track record for signing young
players. Around half of the England Under 17
side, who went out of the World Cup at the
group stage, are on their books.
Stellar’s major clients include Gareth Bale,
whose record-breaking £85million transfer to
Real Madrid helped support a staff who look
after 500 footballers worldwide.
