Published: October 09, 2016
Allnigeriasoccer.com expert on players of Nigerian descent profiles Nigeria’ s top 50 most exciting youngsters. Here are numbers 50-46.
50) Aramide Oteh (Tottenham Hotspur)
Age : 18
Market Value : €200,000
Comments : One of the rising stars of Tottenham Hotspur Academy. He is a center forward of unlimited potential and has cited England star Harry Kane as his role model. He may get his chance in Spurs first team in future if he continues with his development.
49) Tariq Uwakwe ( Chelsea)
Age : 16
Market Value : €150,000
Comments : Has been touted as the rightful heir to Super Eagles skipper John Obi Mikel at Chelsea in future due to his versatility. There had been speculation about his international future until he was called up to the England U18s squad last week.
48) David Kasumu ( Milton Keynes Dons)
Age : 17
Market Value : €400,000
Comments : One of the biggest prospects at MK Dons and could follow in the footsteps of England midfielder Dele Alli by moving to an English top-flight team in the coming years.
He made his competitive debut for MK Dons in August. Kasumu, a gifted midfielder, has been hailed as the new Mutiu Adepoju.
47) Ashinme Kigbu (Manchester City)
Age : 17
Market Value : €500,000
Comments : Old-school central defender in the mould of ex-Inter Milan and Auxerre star Taribo West. Very committed in the tackle, Kigbu can sell his own sister for a clean sheet.
City have him in their plans and rewarded him with a fresh three-year deal in the summer. The England U18 international was born in Jos to Nigerian parents.
46) Bobby Adekanye ( Liverpool)
Age : 17
Market Value : €1, 500,000
Comments : Perhaps if not for injuries, Ibadan-born Adekanye would have been on the brink of breaking into the Liverpool first team, just as his teammate Ovie Ejaria.
The former Barcelona whizkid has something about the Lionel Messi swagger about his game and loves to take on defenders on the dribble without fear.
