Nigerian defender Calvin Ughelumba will be hoping to follow in the footsteps of Super Eagles star Ahmed Musa by making his debut for the first team of Leicester City in future. Aged 16, the stopper has been promoted to the U18s team of the Foxes for the 2016-2017 campaign.
Ughelumba has displayed his outstanding qualities in the U18 Premier League this term, starting every single game and helping goalkeeper George Heaven post a shutout on the opening day of the season against Brighton.
He started his career playing as a striker but became a defender when he arrived at Leicester City.
The English-born teenager represented Pro Touch Soccer Academy and played for the football team of Rokeby School before his shift to the Premier League champs.
