Top Five Nigerian Starlets To Watch Out For In UEFA Youth League
Published: September 18, 2018With Europe's premier tournaments, the UEFA competitions back again in earnest, allnigeriasoccer.com brings to cognisance the young players of Nigerian descent who could light up the UEFA Youth League with their potentials.
Bobby Adekanye (Liverpool): The Reds boy wonder is highly regarded by the youth team handlers at Melwood and will surely be relied upon to lead his side past the likes of Napoli and PSG in Group C.
The 19-year-old winger scored three goals and laid on another for his side during last season's campaign and has already opened his goal account for the club's reserve team in the Premier League 2.
Marvin Olawale Park (Real Madrid): The talented midfielder is another to watch out for with the Spanish heavyweights in the competition.
He has been described as a physical, attack-minded midfielder who is a danger when on rampage, and his ability in one-on-one situations also makes him a threat.
Tom Dele-Bashiru (Manchester City): Dele-Bashiru has not seen much action with the club's senior team due to the vast of options at Pep Guardiola's disposal but that has not deterred him from establishing himself at the youth ranks.
This season, the midfielder has featured in all but one of his side's Premier League 2 games.
Timothy Eyoma (Tottenham): Eyoma is already been tipped as the closest thing to Ledley King at Tottenham and that is a pointer to his quality. Physical, versatile and an all-rounder who is willing to play multiple positions for the team, his experience will come in handy for his side.
The defender started and went the distance for his side in their group opener with Inter Milan on Tuesday afternoon.
Faustino Anjorin (Chelsea): Anjorin is that skillful starlet always looking to make his mark each time he steps out onto the turf for any duty.
He is in the rudest of form this time around yet as he has already scored three goals in four games for the U18s in the league.
