I remember him, Okere and Oyebanjo bossing the midfield at the Wafu U17s 2 years back. If that trio hadn't been dropped, we would have won that U17 AFCON

Yusuf Taiye in his debut got a goal and 2 assists for Olympiacos' U19 team. From my records he didn't manage a single assist for Gombe UTD in 2 NPFL seasons

Dude! This thread for Nigerian players U23 who have declared to play for Nigeria. Stop flooding this thread with foreigners with Nigerian names who have yet to declare or commit to Nigeria. Next thing you will post a story on Bukayo Saka. Stop before you get reprimanded. This is your last warning.

Another Goal for Adelani today to take his seasons tally to 12 goals (2 Assists) in 28 NPFL appearances from the RW position. That's impressive for a player in only his second season of professional football and his first in the top division of the country.



Ayomide Cole is another one that has been quietly doing his thing this season mainly coming off the bench to score very important goals for this Ikorodu side.
