This kid Ayaosi is one to definitely keep an eye on!! This is his first season in the NPFL and look at the type of goal he's scored against on of the leagues toughest defence :shock: That makes it 2 goals and an assist in 7 appearances so far

Ayo Adejubu - 18 is one who's have his best season in his early senior career scoring 3 goals in 4 appearances for 3SC so far.

Don't be tired, abeg.
We should continue pray for even better until we have world beaters on the level of Finidi.
You saw how Chukwueze and Ejuke didn't quite deliver at AFCON. It doesn't make them bad players, just unpredictable and still learning their trade.
And it doesn't stop you from praying for great midfielders at the same time.

Franklin Tebo - 22 y/o CB

We have another solid CB prospect in Franklin Tebo who was recently signed by Swedish club BK Hacken after an initial loan. He's an imposing figure and pretty strong technically and comfortable with both feet
He also partnered Ndah in that Mexico friendly

Same here! He has all the attributes to be a top player, all he's lacking is the experience and with the little he's gotten so far he's done really well, though I want to see how he fares against the bigger sides in Belgium

Incidentally the former manager thought so too.

Adekunle Adeleke - 19 y/o CB - Enyimba
Image

This is one dude whose initial call up to the main SE by Rohr raised eyebrows and for a while it seemed quite questionable with his lack of experience at the continental club level & CHAN/WAFU level. But from watching his games for Abia Warriors last season it was made clear that he's amongst the best defenders in the league. He's short for a CB but he rarely loses duels be it on the ground or in the air. And since Enyimba signed him, he's performed pretty well with them with 6 clean sheets in 12 matches so far in the league + continent.




Junior Nduka - 20 y/o CB - Remo Stars
[tweet][/tweet]

Nduka is arguably the best young defender in the NPFL right now as the captain of Remo Stars as they have the best defensive record (3 conceded & 8 clean sheets in 11) so far and are now the only undefeated side in the league.
He scored this wonderful free-kick today (2:05:10) to keep them top of the table. If he keeps improving at his current rate he'll very likely be one of the biggest exports from the league in a long time.





Bello Babatunde Martins - 20 y/o CM/DM

And if we're talking freekicks Bello Babatunde might have a case as one of the biggest threats from a dead-ball situation, He was a bit-part player for Sunshine Stars last season but has benefited a lot from the mass exodus of players in the off season, and after a bumpy start to the season they have been one of the surprise packages in the league which he played an important part in.

he scored this ridiculous freekick @1:00

Another one @1:45

The former U20 & Kano Pillars midfielder finally scored his first goal in Europe after 59 appearances for 3 different Turkish clubs. In the NPFL he was quite the attacking threat but since his move was converted to more of a DM and has been amongst the top tacklers in the 2nd division.

It's good to see he has secured a place in their starting XI this season after spending most of his time with their U21's since signing from Heartland a couple years ago. As he got a Brace this weekend :clap: :clap: :clap:
