Coach of the Flying Eagles Ladan Bosso has hailed some of his foreign-based players to the FIFA U20 World Cup tournament.
The coach singled out his two Italy-based stars, Ebenezer Akinsanmiro and Victor Eletu who play for the youth sides of Inter Milan and AC Milan in Serie A.
The Flying Eagles have up to 12 foreign-based players in the provisional squad for the FIFA U-20 World Cup in Argentina.
The coach had promised to use 75% of the players that were part of the U20 Africa Cup of Nations in Egypt but that could no longer be the case with the addition of the foreign legion.
He said the addition of the duo of Ebenezer Akinsanrimo and Victor Eletu has brought a totally different spirit to their camp.
“We have good players particularly the ones in Milan (Akinsanmiro and Eletu). They have lit up the team and we are ready for the tournament,” Bosso further told Brila FM.
