This guy is a great talent to behold, I am very happy he choosed to play for Nigeria,
He relieves me of the pains ebere eze, saka and olise caused me for choosing otherwise.
I think some of these scouts in the European big teams are blind to see real talent, he is combination of bernado silva, david Silva, ademola/odemwingie kind of player, he is far better player than zadok they bought from Sweden, he is better than doku and Ghana simiyon of man city,.
His both feet works as the same,
This is how these big clubs ignored olise nd eze for crystal place,
Femi azeez will be the biggest shocker in this current premier League season.
Teams like Juventus, Napoli Liverpool are supposed to buy this free golden package.
