Feyenoord Teen Sensation Set To Make One Of The Most Anticipated Debuts In Nigerian Football History
Published: July 18, 2018Allnigeriasoccer.com understands that Feyenoord teen sensation Lateef Omidiji Jnr is poised to make one of the most anticipated debuts in the history of Nigerian Football on Thursday, July 19.
The 14-year-old has been permitted by the Dutch club to link up with the Nigeria U15 squad for the African Youth Games in Algeria and everything indicates that he will be named in the lineup for the clash against Morocco tomorrow.
Born and raised in Las Vegas, Nevada to a Nigerian father and American mother, Omidiji is rated as one of the top youth prospects in European football and has been linked with moves to almost all the the big clubs not limited to Arsenal, Chelsea, Barcelona, Real Madrid and PSG.
Reports coming out from the Nigeria U15 camp is that he carries himself like a professional, highly technical, tactically astute and void of the labels we love to ascribe to players coming from abroad.
Lateef Omidiji has been described as an 'animal on the pitch' as he is physical and rarely loses a duel.
Having starred at the get-together in Abuja, there are calls from the national team fans that the striker should be promoted to the Golden Eaglets despite his small stature, ahead of the 2019 Africa U17 Cup of Nations qualifiers.
