Flying Eagles invitee Eletu continues brilliant form with another goal involvement for AC Milan U19

Flying Eagles invitee Victor Eletu is enjoying a strong end to the season with AC Milan's Primavera squad.

The central midfielder is the only player yet to link up with the Flying Eagles squad in Argentina, four days before their FIFA U20 World Cup opener against Dominican Republic. 

Wearing the number 22 jersey, Eletu started for the Rossoneri U19s as they registered a 3-0 road win over Hellas Verona in their  antepenultimate Campionato Primavera 1 match of the 2022-2023 season.

The 18-year-old provided the assist for Milan's second goal in the 64th minute when his pass was converted by Simić following a corner. 

To AC Milan's advantage, Eletu has been in red hot form of late, registering three goal involvements in his last four matches in the Campionato Primavera 1, helping the Rossoneri pick up eight points from an available twelve in the process. 

The midfielder's first goal involvement in the division was against Atalanta on May 3, and then nine days later opened his goalscoring account in an important match against city rivals Inter Milan, followed by his assist today at Verona. 

Nigeria U20 head coach Ladan Bosso is confident that Eletu can be the X-factor player for the Flying Eagles at the World Cup and gave him the number 10 shirt.
