Highly-Rated Nigerian Wing-Back Set To Be Promoted By Arsenal

Allnigeriasoccer.com understands that the highly-rated Nigerian defender Tolaji Bola is set to be promoted by Premier League club Arsenal in the forthcoming season.

Born January 4, 1999 in London, Bola will no longer be eligible to represent the Gunners U18s squad during the 2017-2018 campaign, and will only be utilized for the U23s and first team.

Last season, the left wing-back and central defender recorded 22 appearances for Arsenal U18s squad, scoring one goal.

The Hale End Academy product penned his first professional contract at Arsenal shortly after he celebrated his 17th birthday in January 2016.

Tolaji Bola has caps for England at U16, U17 and U18 level.
