Arsenal-owned fullback of Nigerian descent named in Scottish League Cup Team of the Round

Arsenal-owned fullback of Nigerian descent Ryan Alebiosu has been named in the Scottish League Cup Team of the Round.

Alebiosu shone on his competitive debut for Kilmarnock as they registered a 4-1 rout of Stenhousemuir FC in a Group B clash staged at BBSP Stadium, Rugby Park on Saturday, July 23.

The right back's performance was more impressive considering that he trained with his new teammates for few days before the match against  the Scottish League Two club.

In a 3-4-3 formation, Alebiosu was considered for the right side of a three-man defence.

Predominantly a right-back, the Hale Ender can also slot in at left-back, right midfield, left wingback and right wingback.

Alebiosu spent the second half of last season on loan at Football League club Crewe Alexandra but his appearances were limited to six in the third tier of English football due to a back issue that sidelined him for two months.

The 20-year-old will be aiming to make his topflight debut on Saturday, July 30 when Kilmarnock take on Dundee United in their Scottish Premiership opener.
