Already they have had three sessions under the watchful eyes of coach Jose Peseiro. It has been really competitive in training with all 23 players pushing for a spot in the matchday squad and possibly the starting lineup.
One player who has done his chances no harm is Nantes of France winger Moses Simon, he has so far scored more goals than any other player in training. By our count he has found the net five times in just three sessions.
That is not taking anything away from Victor Osimhen, who has also been very lively since joining the team two days ago. He has shown that his tally of 31 goals last season is no fluke with not just his goals but his all round play.
His 2015 U17 teammate Samuel Chukwueze has been almost unplayable in training with mesmerizing dribbling skills leaving defenders in their wake. He has also been clinical with his last touch something that use to be his achilles heel before now.
Another player who has also looked very comfortable on and off the ball is Everton’s midfielder Alex Iwobi. The 27 year old hasn’t put a foot wrong working as part of a midfield three with Wilfred Ndidi and Joe Aribo.
