One of three promising young Nigerians playing in the Pro League along with Moses Simon and Wilfred Ndidi. :)



I'm all for bringing in new talent if it means we send them out on loan so they can can accumulate regular game time in order to develop properly.

Raw...but you can see why so many teams are following him. The hardest thing in football to find nowadays is pacey dribblers who has good control. This guy has some really impressive speed. Also he takes solid shots with both feet. Dortmund is close to him

Sky says we're in talks to sign him. £6.8m release clause and the top scorer in the Belgian league despite playing for the most recently promoted team

Zenith might give more insight but I like what I see on the ole YouTube

Sounds like the unknown player we usually go for

Thought his name sounded familiar

wouldn't hurt as a signing at the given release clause. The stats are very promising for a 19 years old. If we sign 2-3 strikers, i would like him be one of them

If we sign him, he'll be our only striker which makes me not want to get him

Nothing to do with the pubber himself but we need top quality

Pack it in Cripps. IF we do sign him he will be one for the future and most likely sent out on loan or mixed in with the first/reserve teams.

He's only 19. Just like Holding, he will have no impact on other potential signings.

I have no idea about him but hope this happens as we need projects too. Top scorer at 19 is definitely worth a shot

Remember when sanogo was signed as 'one for the future' before being used as an excuse for not signing a striker? Well this guy is more experienced than Sanogo was.
