Talented 17-Year-Old Nigerian Defender Named In Atalanta Match Day Squad Vs Cagliari
Published: January 13, 2019
Promising Nigerian defender Caleb Okoli has been handed another
opportunity to make his professional debut after he was named in the
provisional roster by Atalanta manager Gian Piero Gasperini for their
Coppa Italia clash against Cagliari on Monday evening.
Twenty
two players were included in the traveling party for tomorrow's match
at Sardegna Arena, meaning Okoli is certain to be named in the match day
squad as the Italian Federation permits up to 12 players to be on the
bench.
If he steps out onto the pitch, he would be wearing the number fifty five jersey.
Okoli is a physical central defender blessed with excellent aerial prowess and anticipation.
Born
in Vicenza seventeen years ago, he is touted to be one of the best
young defenders in the Primavera 1 and has 11 starts to his name for
Atalanta U19s in the league this season.
He was an unused substitute as champions Juventus were held to a 2-2 draw by Atalanta in the Serie A on December 26, 2018.
