I have watched him closely to put it mildly, he is not just an attacking midfielder, Marcus can play as a winger and in center forward. He gets his aim right. I want to believe Jose’s aides are on the media to read the highlights and possibly put these young bundle of talented Nigerians on their radar.
The Highly skillful Abraham Markus should come off age and grab this opportunity to break into Porto’s main team. Discipline and Focus is the Key!!!
