“To him, Chibuzor is one of the best wing backs in world football today.

“He can use him at right back or left back and you will never know which is his best position because he performs creditably well in both positions.

“He (Ranko) heard he is good too in midfield though he hasn't had a chance to play him there, may be he will when the league commences.

“He is an asset to any coach because in case of any need to change your game plan in the middle of a game, with him on the pitch it gives you good options even if you have made all your substitutions.

“That makes him even more dependable and a must have for any team.

“At the preseason tournament he was simply the best player by miles, no surprise he won two man of the match awards and the tournaments MVP.

“For a defender, that’s awesome,” gushed our source.

"It is a surprise to coach Rankp and the whole of Alswehly FC and Libya that Chibuzor, or Austin as he is better known here, is not a regular starter for the Super Eagles of Nigeria," concluded our source.
