His compatriot, Kelechi Nwakali who captained the Nigerian side in Chile, having been voted the player of the tournament, is reportedly on his way to join Kelechi Iheanacho’s Manchester City.


Meanwhile, the former national U17 coach, John Obuh, has advisedthe golden Eaglets not to rush to foreign clubs saying they are still minors.


In a telephone chat with Waploaded Sports, Obuh who managed the Nigerian U20 team between 2010 and 2013 revealed that the boys should return to the local league to enable them mature and then graduate to the U20 level.


He said: “The boys have really tried and they surpassed expectations. I just hope they will not rush to foreign clubs. They should learn from their predecessors.


In fact they should return to the local league, where they will graduate to the Under 20 category; by then, they would have been matured.”
