Head scout of the Super Eagles, Tunde Adelakun, has revealed he is currently keeping tabs on several youngsters like Nnamdi Ofoborh of Bournemouth and Southampton’s Nathan Tella.
“In Southampton, I am still watching Nathan Tella, it’s great to see he’s now making starts in the Premier League,” Adelakun said.
“Nnamdi Ofoborh of Bournemouth is another great player.”
Midfielder Ofoborh, 20, has already been capped by Nigeria at U20 level and even featured at last year’s U20 World Cup in Poland.
Right winger Tella, on the other hand, is 21 years old and has made a handful of first-team appearances for Southampton on the Premier League.
“The main aim is to get the best players to play for Nigeria. It doesn’t matter whether he is based in Europe or Nigeria. We want the best players,” Adelakun told BBC South.
Adelakun also informed that Ovie Ejaria of Reading is also close to completing his change of international allegiance to Nigeria after he represented England at age-group levels.
That s nice, we need them all.
