U-20 AFCON: “Osimhen II” List of five players to see in the U20 team of Nigeria

The U20 team of Nigeria will begin its campaign at the U20 AFCon on Thursday when they face Tunisia in its first group game of the tournament that began yesterday.

Trained by Aliyu Zubairu, the Nigerian team that is the regional champions after lifting the Wafu B tournament last year will go to a semi -final place that seals a place in the U20 World Cup.

Zubairu chose 24 players for a tournament that will see them play in groups B with Tunisia, Kenya and Morocco. Below are the five best players chosen by our editorial chief Mohammed Mowiz Suleiman.

Kparobo Arierhi: He scored the two goals about Ghana in the Wafu Tournament final. Since then, Lillestrom moved to the Norwegian side, where more has been developed. They call him the new Osimhen.

Bidemi Amole: Qualified as one of the brightest perspectives of Nigerian football after its exceptional performance in the Gothia Cup in Sweden last year, where it promoted Lakes to the trophy. He is a technically endowed forward with a good dribbling and balance, he is armed with a powerful shot and also knows his way to the goal.

Ebenezer Harcourt: He became a first -class goalkeeper in the WAFU tournament after the first game at the age of 15. It will not have 16 until October, but is completely established as the best man in the team in the goal and also one of the stars of the team that goes to AFCon.

Divine Oliseh: He stole the program in the trial game against former host of the Cote d’IVorire tournament with an orthopedic device and has not seemed out of place since then. He followed him with an assistance and won a penalty in a recent 2-1 victory over Egypt in another friendly. It is expected to be key in your search to win the tournament.

Emmanuel Chukwu – signed on the German side Hoffenheim in March from the Nigerian side Grassrunner FC. The defender has not lost time to become a key member of the four that are expected to exclude opponents in the tournament.
