England U17s Skipper Backing Ike Ugbo To Shine Against Spain

England Under 17s skipper Reece Oxford has backed Chelsea striker Ike Ugbo to deliver the goods when the young Three Lions tackle their Spanish counterparts on Tuesday.

It is not only pride that is at stake as the winner of the contest in two days time will be one of Europe’s representatives at the Fifa Under 17 World Cup in Chile.

“Stephy and Ike are both top strikers and have goals in them,” the West Ham defender told TheFA.com.

“They might think they are having a bit of a drought right now, but I’ve played against them both for West Ham and I know they can finish.

 I believe that if they can just get that first one, then they will kick on and get a few. Hopefully that will be the case on Tuesday.”

In Bulgaria, Ike Ugbo has featured in all the games played by England but is still searching for his first goal in the competition after spending 123 minutes on the pitch.
