Manchester City Trialist Ijiwole Scores Against Liverpool In U18 Premier League Cup

Published: October 27, 2019

Promising Nigerian winger Andrew Ijiwole will fancy his chances of bagging a deal with Manchester City after scoring for their U18 team against Liverpool in the U18 Premier League Cup on Saturday.

The Huddersfield Town starlet has been training with the Citizens and was involved in their 4-1 rout of Stoke City last Friday.

Ijiwole started on the bench in yesterday's game against The Reds and made an instant impact when he came on in the 83rd minute.

The 18-year-old trialist added a fourth goal for Manchester City deep into stoppage time.

Manager Gareth Taylor is observing Ijiwole at close quarters after he impressed in a friendly against the club whilst playing for Huddersfield Town U17s in 2018.

If he is offered a contract, he would join Felix Nmecha, Nathanael Ogbeta, Gavin Bazunu, Fisayo Dele-Bashiru, Timi Sobowale and Samuel Edozie at Manchester City's Academy.
