Head coach of the Nigeria U20 team Ladan Bosso says he need as many as five strikers ahead of his team’s campaign at the U20 World Cup, which starts May in Indonesia, OGN can exclusively report.
Bosso and his team arrived Nigeria today from Egypt where they took part in the U20 Africa Cup of Nations and finished in 3rd place. They however succeeded with their main target by qualifying for the World Cup.
He said the main area where his team struggled was in attack and believe as many as five strikers from which he will pick three will no doubt help his team to do well at the U20 World Cup. He lamented that at the AFCON they could have done better with strikers who are clinical.
” I am okay with certain areas in my team and won’t make so much change to it for the World Cup. In defence, we can say we are really good and even goalkeeper isn’t an issue but in attack I can do with five new players. If I can get three from them then we are fine”, he told OGN.
” Generally, the main issue we faced is in that department right from when we were in the camp in Abuja. I have asked for the young strikers who are doing well in the Nigeria Professional Football League (NPFL) but they are very few. Players born and based in Europe have also been mentioned to me. I am looking at all available options to fortify my attack”, he rounded up saying.
