Ten English-Based Nigerian Talents That Can Be Capped By The National Teams (6-10)

Allnigeriasoccer.com completes the best of the young Nigerian contingent in English football who are worthy of consideration as far as their talents go.

6. Ike Ugbo (Chelsea): Having won almost all youth titles in the ranks of the U18, Ugbo had swiftly transitioned into a
formidable goal poacher thanks to his technique and deadly finishing ability.

And recently, he was back with a bang for the club's U23s in the Premier League 2 against Sunderland where he scored one and set up another in a 5-0 win.

7. Faustino Anjorin (Chelsea): At just 16 years of age, Anjorin is regarded as the next big thing at Chelsea after he had continued to star with the club's youth team.

With three goals to his name from just nine starts for the table-topping Blues in the U18 league this campaign, it clearly
illustrates his knack for finding the net from his deep midfield position.

8. Tariq Uwakwe (Chelsea): With an explosive turn of pace and long, powerful legs, Uwakwe's versatility enables his to play across the midfield or in the left side of the pitch where he focuses on trailing bodies in his wake.

His solitary goal for the U18s this campaign do not tell the whole story and if his continued improvement is anything to go by, the 18-year old would sooner rather than later be turning out alongside Victor Moses at Stamford Bridge.

9. Michael Obafemi (Southampton): When young Obafemi replaced Manolo Gabbiadini for his Premier League debut against Tottenham last weekend, he became the first Nigerian player born in the year 2000 to feature in the division. It is a no-brainer why.

The talented striker's goal scoring exploits for the U18s is well documented, with 12 already dispatched for the season in just 15 outings, including a treble against Wolverhampton Wanderers in the FA Youth Cup.

10. Fred Onyedinma (Millwall): The 21-year old midfield sensation had been in fine fettle with the Championship club, contributing from deep with his scintillating performances; no doubt why Neil Harris had kept faith with the youngster in 21 of the 28 matches the club have played in the English second-tier.

Having reportedly caught the eyes with most Premier League clubs already monitoring his progress, his decent goal to help Millwall into the fourth round of the FA Cup was a good enough caveat to build on.
