Nigeria U20 Coach Running The Rule Over Everton's Korede, Watford's Bennetts, Man City's Fisayo

Allnigeriasoccer.com understands that Flying Eagles coach Paul Aigbogun has started observing four exciting talents of Nigerian descent on the books of Premier League clubs with a view to including them on his squad list for the FIFA U20 World Cup in Poland.

It is confirmed that Everton winger Korede Adedoyin, Manchester City midfielder Tom Dele-Bashiru and his sibling Fisayo, and Watford youth team maestro Jayden Bennetts have started training with the Nigeria U20s in Ingolstadt.

Born in Lagos, Adedoyin has cited Ivory Coast international Wilfried Zaha as his role model.

The 18-year-old is predominantly a right winger but is also comfortable playing as an attacking midfielder and support striker.

A second-year scholar, Adedoyin has netted an impressive 26 goals in 51 appearances for Everton U18s since making his debut in the 2016-2017 season.

Watford's Bennetts needs no introduction as he trained with the Flying Eagles in January but did not make the squad for the U20 AFCON because he had to return to England as a result of club commitments.

The Dele-Bashiru brothers have trained with Manchester City's first team and Fisayo was part of the U18 squad that lost to Liverpool in the final of the prestigious FA Youth Cup last Thursday.
