Tottenham Submit Names Of Eight Players Of Nigerian Descent To Premier League

Tottenham Hotspur have submitted their 25-man roster to the Premier League following the conclusion of the summer transfer window.

Despite being a first-team regular, England star Dele Alli was included on the U21 list.

The names of seven other players of Nigerian descent were also submitted to the Premier League on Friday, September 1, as part of Spurs U21 players (contracts and scholars).

They include Ayodele Amos, Keanan Chidozie Bennetts, Timothy Eyoma, Jubril Okedina, Joshua Oluwayemi, Moroyin Omolabi and Josh Onomah.

In practice, manager Mauricio Pochettino will not be able to count on the services of England U20 World Cup star Onomah, who is spending the whole of this season on loan at Aston Villa.
