The current CAF Most Promising Talent of the Year Oghenekaro Etebo will not attend the 2016 Glo-CAF Awards ceremony on Thursday, January 5, <b>allnigeriasoccer.com</b> has been informed. <br /><br />Few hours to the prestigious event in Abuja, the attacking midfielder is still in Portugal because of commitments with CD Feirense. <br /><br />Anyway, it is one hundred percent confirmed that Etebo will not retain the award he won about a year ago in his homeland, with CAF naming Kelechi Iheanacho (Manchester City), Elia Meschak (DR Congo &amp; TP Mazembe) and Naby Keita (Guinea &amp; RB Leipzig) in their final three-man shortlist. <br /><br />The former Warri Wolves star lived up to his reputation as one of Africa&rsquo;s stars to watch out for in the future after starring at the 2016 Olympic Games, netting four goals in the Dream Team&rsquo;s win versus Japan and scoring on his full debut for the Super Eagles. <br /><br />The 21-year-old Etebo has been reportedly scouted by Premier League pair Arsenal and Leicester City in recent weeks. <br /><br />Ifeanyi Emmanuel <br />
