Northampton Town Make Move For Released Spurs Starlet Emmanuel Sonupe

Northampton Town have started running the rule over Nigerian starlet Emmanuel Sonupe, with a view to offering him a contract before the start of the 2016-2017 season.

The midfielder was observed at close quarters on Tuesday night as the Cobblers were held to a 1-1 draw by Queens Park Rangers in a pre-season friendly at the Sixfields Stadium.

Three players of Nigerian descent were involved, with former Man City stopper Nedum Onuoha and Olamide Shodipo making the starting line-up for the London team.

Sonupe trained with League One club Charlton Athletic earlier this month and took part in a friendly against Welling United.

The youngster was released by Tottenham Hotspur in the summer.
