The Addition of Oghenekaro Etebo and likely impacts

With the abundance of talents coming through the youth ranks of Nigeria football,It is getting better day by day for Super Eagles as many of them are really showing they are stars.Another fruit on our Fruitful tree is Oghenekaro Etebo.


The 20 year old who currently plies his trade in Portugal with CD Feirense was a product of Warri Wolves youth set up,has been around for about four years and has played in Several Positions including right back.

Etebo was the highest second top scorer in 2012-2013 NPFL Season, Golden boot winner of U-23 Africa  Cup of Nations and CAF most promising talent of the Year 2015.It will be Nice to see where he will fit in with Mikel,Iheanacho and Iwobi already sealed their respective positions in the Super Eagles Starting line up but going by his U-23 performances especially against Algeria last year and Against Japan this year.Moses Simon's position in the last match could be an option for a player who is a natural goalscoring midfielder like Lampard.


It will be Great to see Etebo back into the Senior National team as injuries has prevented him from adding to his last caps against Egypt.
