Center-back Chibuike Nwaiwu looks like the real deal.
He was ever-present and consistently good in Austria and he seems to have carried that form to Turkey.
He, along with Benjamin Fredrick and Calvin Bassey Ughelumba should form the bedrock of Nigeria’s senior national team’s central defense for years to come.
Coach Chelle, please add him to the mix on your next list.
