Flying Eagles Pick 5 Pros For Tanzania\
Nigeria U-20 team, the Flying Eagles, have invited five overseas-based players led by striker Olanrewaju Kayode ahead of a 2013 Africa Youth Championship qualifier against Tanzania.
Kayode of Swiss side Lucerne, Egedi Edafe (AGF Aarhus, Denmark), Aliyu Mohammed Goyi (Tavriya, Ukraine), and Oliha Aigbe (Esperance, Tunisia) are expected to fortify coach John Obuh’s team for an AYC clash away in Tanzania on July 28.
The fresh call-up is 17-year-old striker Cedric Omoigui from the youth team of Spanish club Real Mallorca.
Kayode and Edafe featured at both the AYC and the U20 World Cup in Colombia last year, while Goyi and Aigbe were part of the squad but did not make the final cut for the World Cup.
Kenneth Omeruo was also listed for this match, but was later excused as he is presently in pre-season with English Premier League side Chelsea.
Obuh has also recalled Abdul Jeleel Ajagun (Dolphin), Chidi Osuchukwu as well as Bright Ejike (Sharks), who were part of last year’s squad.
The Flying Eagles will face their Benin counterparts in a warm-up match on July 14.
