Promising Arsenal Defender Tolaji Bola Displaying His Wares At Durban Tournament

The promising Nigerian defender Tolaji Bola is impressing for the U19 team of Arsenal at the ongoing Durban U19 2016 Tournament in South Africa.

Bola was named in the starting line-up as the young Gunners beat Golden Arrows 2-1 in their final group game to book their spot in the semi-finals of the competition.

Having missed the opening fixture against KZN Academy, he was brought into the starting XI against Sporting Lisbon and assisted Keto post a shutout as Arsenal beat the Portuguese setup 1-0.

Tolaji Bola is not the only player of Nigerian descent representing the Emirates outfit in South Africa, with Toby Omole also making the roster for the tournament.

The stopper signed a professional contract at Arsenal in January when he clocked 17 years.
