In continuation of allnigeriasoccer.com Top 50 Nigerian youngsters, we reveal numbers 45-41.

45) Tosin Kehinde (Manchester United)
Age : 18
Market Value : €300,000
Comments : Local followers of the beautiful game are tipping Tosin to follow in the footsteps of Paul McGrath, retired Republic of Ireland international of Nigerian ancestry, by playing competitively for the first team of the Old Trafford side in future.

Born in Lagos, Tosin is a central midfielder with impeccable touch, impressive passing and good vision. Take note of the name.

44) Tayo Edun (Fulham)
Age : 18
Market Value : €500,000
Comments : The England U19 international is expected to establish himself in the first team of the Cottagers in the next few years, having made his debut in August.

Because of Edun’s versatility, he has a big future ahead of him. Can play in central midfield, left-back and left midfield.

43) Ogo Obi (Watford)
Age : 18
Market Value : €1,000,000
Comments : Rated one of the top prospects at Vicarage Road. Ogo has not been distracted by transfer speculation linking him with an exit from Watford and has continued to deliver the goods for the club’s youth teams.

Having said, he was heavily linked with a move to Manchester United in 2014, but the Hornets refused to do business, showing how much they value the player. Touted as the Nigerian Messi back in his homeland.

42) Ovie Ejaria ( Liverpool)
Age : 18
Market Value : €1,000,000
Comments : These days, a lot of youngsters are over-hyped and don’t live up to their wonderkid tag, but Ejaria has proven to be the real deal with a string of fine performances for the Reds’ youth teams which led to his invitation to train with the first team.

The Arsenal product is the poor man’s Paul Pogba. Ejaria is a bonafide box-to-box midfielder. Few years ago, he had complained of being too frail but has developed physically. Has excellent ball winning, distribution skills and has the eye for a pass. Ask Ademola Lookman!

41 ) Dennis Adeniran (Fulham)
Age : 17
Market Value : €1,500,000
Comments : You have to take notice of a 17-year-old who scored on his debut for Fulham and England. Originally a striker, Dennis has been converted to a central midfielder, and he has been a menace to opposing players.

He has boundless energy and drives forward. Also possesses good technique and passing ability.
