Yeah! He blends easily and comes with premiums
A very good player on a good day.
who?? you mean thesame Onuachu i have watched over and over in National colours not in the club team o>> i do hope he has changed in some areas i noticed
1. ball control in the national colour is something else
2. urgency…in national seems too slow
3. He falls unnecessarily while on duty for the nation
4. wrong positioning
you can go back on youtube and watch him again on national duties…i do hope he matured now to be successful in the national team..
He will make a difference in the game against the Ivorians.
