Another player who has been considered as the ‘next big thing’ for Nigerian football is Victor Eletu. The youngster has been likened to greats of the Nigerian game in John Obi Mikel and Sunday Oliseh, due to his incredible vision and passing range.
The AC Milan wonderkid has attracted interest from top European clubs, and has been monitored long before the World Cup.
The Flying Eagles arrived in Bueno Aires on Thursday afternoon, from Mendoza, where they played and won their first two games of the FIFA U20 World Cup tournament.
They will face off against Brazil on Saturday, with scouts expected to be heavily in attendance at the Estadio Unico Diego Maradona in La Plata.
