Brilliant
There must be something special about this dude……haba is he the only player in this tournament?
The guy is really good. Heard he was moved from midfield to fill in for a LB. I see the scouts hunting for his signature. But there are other great talents in the team
This kid is outstanding. Keep eye on him.
The picture is not Emmanuel Michael. Nigerian teams don’t wear yellow on national assignments.
He swapped strips with a Togolese
Pascal he is so good that the other team players wants a jersey swap, not only that but he is older as well. LMAO clowns invading Nigerian website. CSN weed them away!!!
