Golden Eaglets coach set to invite Adekanye and Makanjuola - report

Chief coach of The Nigeria Under-17 team, Emmanuel Amunike has extended invitation to Barcelona's teen sensation and Dutch Nigerian Bobby Adekanye.

Bobby Adekanye, who was listed among the players Barcelona signed illegally to their academy that led to a one year transfer ban on the team, has been mentioned within the Golden Eaglet's horizon alongside Habib Makanjuola of Chelsea who was a part of the last team that won the World Youth Championship in Dubai.
Habib Makanjuola, who will be 16 at the time of the next under-17 World cup, might skipper the team being assembled by Emmanuel Amuneke.
Adekanye is one of the two Nigerians at the Barcelona youth set up, with Godswill Ekpolohor grabbing rare reviews for his performances with the B team of Barcelona and he is been closely watched by Flying Eagles boss Manu Garba.
