Highly-Rated Chelsea Nigerian Prospect Anjorin Appointed England Captain
Published: April 16, 2017
Chelsea wonderkid Faustino Anjorin was handed extra responsibilities by England U16s head coach Dan Micciche at the ongoing Montaigu Tournament in France.
The midfielder was appointed captain of the Young Lions for their final Group B fixture against Portugal on April 13.
This is not the first time Anjorin has skippered an England youth team. On February 17, 2016, he was the captain of the U15s against the United States squad in a friendly at St. George’s Park.
Manchester City's Tosin Adarabioyo, West Ham's Ajibola Alese, Queens Park Rangers' Nedum Onuoha and Chelsea defender Ola Aina have captained England youth teams in the past.
Faustino Anjorin has qualities to succeed as a footballer and it is envisaged that he'll break into Chelsea U18 squad sometime next season.
