Abdulmuiz Adeleke – No doubt his four goals in two games has caught the eyes, and also speaks volumes of why he trained with Chelsea and Strasbourg before joining the team.
Oraro Lucky – Not much was heard about him before the tournament, but he has so far been the standout player for them in the midfield, particularly in the first game against Ghana where he won the man of the match award.
Habila Simeone – The captain hasn’t looked out of place at all. Especially with the way he pick out passes and also compliment Lucky in the middle. Looks a very good prospect
Wahab Bolanle – A left back who occupies really good position in the opponent’s half as seen in the game against Ghana, where he won a penalty. Little wonder Malaga moved quickly to snap him up.
Lawani Clinton – He hasn’t had much to do in goal but it’s clear to see that he has what it takes to hold his own. Plays really well with his feet and commands his box excellently.
