The Flying Eagles have invited nine
foreign-based professionals including Kelechi Iheanacho and Isaac Success ahead
of next year’s African Youth Championship in Senegal.
Iheanacho is on the books of
English Premier League champions Manchester City, while Success has already
broken into the first team at Spanish La Liga side Granada CF.
The other invited pros are
Chidiebere Nwakali (Manchester City/England), Taiwo Awoniyi (Kalmar/Sweden),
Chidera Eze (FC Porto/Portugal), Daddy Moses, Kingsley Madu (AS
Trencin/Slovakia), Musa Yahaya (Tottenham Hotspur/England) and Musa Muhammed.
According to coach Manu Garba, the
players are expected to join up with the Flying Eagles when the team’s training
camp reopens in Kaduna on December 27.
He also said he has received
assurances for the release of the players by their clubs.
The AYC will kick off on March 8 in
Dakar, Senegal.
The eight-team tournament will
produce Africa’s four representatives to the 2015 FIFA U20 World Cup in New
Zealand.
