Both Victor Osimhen and Kelechi Iheanacho shot themselves and the Golden Eaglets to international glory and now it is the turn of junior secondary school student Charles Agada to do same.
Bir önceki yazımda Nijerya'nın Mavlon ekibinden tanıttığım Salim Fago'nun takım arkadaşı olan Charles Agada(2006) ilerleyen yıllarda çok iyi bir golcü olacağını uzun süredir belli ediyor.

Napoli star striker Osimhen (2015 FIFA U17 World Cup) and before him Iheanacho (2013 FIFA U17 World Cup) now of Premier League club Leicester City literally shot to prominence on the back of their goals for the Golden Eaglets.
Everything now points to Agada, the stocky student of Palmville College in Lagos, to follow suit.
He will be the arrow head of an already rampant Golden Eaglets Sunday evening when they open their U17 AFCON campaign against Zambia in Constantine, Algeria.
“He is simply a force of nature,” remarked impressed Golden Eaglets spokesman Francis Achi.
The powerful, all-action striker missed out on last year’s WAFU qualifiers in Ghana no thanks to injury.
But he has since bounced back in style as coach Nduka Ugbade put his team through their paces with the clear mission to be champions of Africa again in Algeria.
Such is the potential of this youngster that it has already been reported that several top Spanish clubs including Sevilla and Atletico Madrid are closely monitoring his progress.
The Mavlon FC star, 17, has already trained with another Spanish club Granada CF, who were once home to two top Super Eagles strikers, Odion Ighalo and Isaac Success.
