SCORENigeria can exclusively report today that Super Eagles coach Eric Chelle was in the stands to watch young striker George Ilenikhena in Ligue 1 action.
The Super Eagles coach is committed to freshen the team in time for crucial 2026 World Cup qualifiers in September and October.
Home team Monaco dumped Olympique Marseille 3-0 Saturday.
Lagos-born Ilenikhena, 18, was a late substitute.
Ilenikhena is on the long wish list of Nigeria-eligible players compiled by coach Eric Chelle and exclusively reported by SCORENigeria
The left-footed striker joined Monaco in January from Belgian club Antwerp and has thus far scored three goals in 19 appearances in Ligue 1.
He has also been capped by France at U21 level and would therefore need to apply for a change of international allegiance should he opt to now play for the Super Eagles.
