Seven Nigerian Players Named In Chelsea Squad For Premier League

Chelsea have submitted their squad list for the second half of the 2016-2017 campaign to the Premier League following the close of the January transfer window on Tuesday night.

Seven players of Nigerian descent, including in-form Nigeria international Victor Moses, were included on Antonio Conte’s roster.

England youth internationals Ola Aina, Dominic Solanke, Ike Ugbo, Tariq Uwakwe, Fikayo Tomori and Tammy Abraham have been named to the list.

However, Tomori and Abraham will spend the remainder of this season on loan at Brighton & Hove Albion and Bristol City respectively and will not be available for selection.

Moses was registered as a home grown player while the remaining six players are U21 players.
