In this new series, allnigeriasoccer.com expert on English-based Nigerian youngsters eligible to represent the national teams profiles Oxford United goalkeeper Emmanuel Agboola.

Manny Agboola is one of Nigeria’s top goalkeeping prospects abroad at the moment. Born in London 18 years, the shot-stopper joined Oxford United in the summer of 2015 from local club John Madejski Academy.

The promising youngster was handed a chance to gain work experience when Oxford United loaned him to North Leigh in November 2016.

Agboola has been outstanding for the Millers since his arrival, with the club losing only three out of the fifteen games across all competitions he featured.

He posted shutouts in matches against AFC Totton, Kingstonian and Bridgwater Town.

He is a goalkeeper with great reflexes, displays maturity beyond his years and is vocal in the organization of his defense.
