Nigerian World Cup Star Etebo Makes First Competitive Appearance In A Stoke City Shirt

Allnigeriasoccer.com understands that Super Eagles star Oghenekaro Etebo will definitely make his competitive debut for his new employer Stoke City when they take on Leeds United at  Elland Road on Sunday, August 5.

The versatile midfielder was in the Potters traveling party to West Yorkshire, which more or less confirms that he will be named in Gary Rowett's 18-man squad.

Stoke City's pre-season preparations did not go as planned after they lost four of their last five matches against
German clubs Bochum, Meppen, Hamburg and St. Pauli, and they were held to a goalless draw by Premier League new boys Wolves.

Etebo has only lost once on his league debuts for the teams he has represented since moving to Europe in 2016, and that was against Rio Ave  on August 28, 2016 when C.D. Feirense were beaten 1-0 in the Primeira Liga.

He helped C.D. Feirense claim a 3-1 win over Oliveirense in his maiden appearance in the Ledman Liga Pro on April 24, 2016 and worked his socks off in Las Palmas's 1-0 win vs Malaga on his La Liga debut in February 2018.
