Nigerian Duo Adarabioyo, Iheanacho Named Among Best 15 Talents At Man City

Manchester City are delighted with the progress made by Nigerian defender Tosin Adarabioyo, 18, since his arrival at the club thirteen years ago.

City’s Director of Football Txiki Begiristain thinks the young central defender has a big future at the club and he is being rated in the same category as top talents Gabriel Jesus, Marlos Moreno, Leroy Sane and Aleksandar Zinchenko.

“It’s been a really exciting summer for us, bringing in the likes of Gabriel Jesus, Marlos Moreno, Leroy Sane and Aleksandar Zinchenko, who we believe are some of the world’s best young players in their positions, as well as seeing our Academy develop talents like Tosin Adarabioyo, Angelino, Pablo Maffeo, Angus Gunn step up and look at home around the first-team setup.” Begiristain told mancity.com.

The official website of the Citizens recently published the top fifteen talents at the Etihad, with Adarabioyo and Super Eagles rising star Iheanacho making the list.

Kelechi Iheanacho, still only 19, was labelled an African star by Manchester City.

Manchester-born Adarabioyo has played competitively for the first team of Man City in the FA Cup and Champions League.
