This guy is super skillful he reminds me of zaha.Gernot rohr should take a quick swip on this talent. And for him to be a Chelsea player is not a fluke..
Keep the fire blazing
I have watched this guy at close quarters and I kinda think he’s got huge talent.
Good one, Ike! Not many strikers experience the joy of scoring in their debut game for a new club. Keep up the good work.
Meanwhile, there’s a Nigerian central defender (Junior Udeme Pius) turning out consistently for Royal Antwerp (90 mins in the Belgian Cup Final victory against Club Brugge, and in the first two games of the new season, plus substitute appearance in yesterday’s victory against Gent). I wonder why he doesn’t get mentioned in completesports. I think our sport papers need to do a better job of reporting on Nigerian players in all major football leagues.
@Aleks,pius udeme has played in Portugal in recent years. Nobody made mention of him, sometimes I wonder why completesportsnigeria.com don’t mention some good players.
They need PR before they do that, highest bidder get the highest publicity
