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.
Also two goalkeepers from the last team of Nigeria to the Youth World Cup in Dubai, Francis Uzoho and Abdulazeez Abubakar are also being
considered by Amuneke alongside Chigozie Obasi of the same team.
