Allnigeriasocccer.com understands that at least seven European clubs sent their representatives to Goiânia for the Golden Eaglets second Group B match against Ecuador on Tuesday evening.

A representative of English Premier League club Manchester United attended the game and ran the rule over the top stars on both teams.

The Red Devils have been linked with a move for Arsenal wonderkid Malcolm Ebiowei and were expected to observe him at close quarters during the tournament in Brazil but the attacking midfielder was one of the shock omissions when the final 21-man roster was unveiled.

Dutch champions Ajax Amsterdam also watched Dabo Babes Academy star Ibrahim Said announce himself to the world by scoring a stunning hat-trick against the South American opponents.

Hoffenheim, Monaco, Benfica, Inter Milan and Real Valladolid scouts were among the over fifty talent spotters at the
Estádio Olímpico, Goiânia.

Golden Eaglets players Samson Tijani, Olakunle Olusegun, Akinkunmi Amoo and Said have caught the eye after two matches at the FIFA U17 World Cup.
