U-20 WC: City, Arsenal, Chelsea, Tottenham and other stars Bosso should consider
It is no more news that the Flying Eagles have been drawn into one of the toughest groups at the 2023 FIFA U-20 World Cup.
Nigeria U-20 have been drawn alongside Brazil U-20, Italy U-20, and Dominican Republic U-20 in Group D.
This is a tough group and in a tough situation, tough measures need to be taken.
Nigeria booked a place at the World Cup after securing a semifinal place at the Africa U-20 Nations Cup in Egypt, the Flying Eagles failed to win the title but returned with a Bronze medal.
They lost two out of the six games they played at the tournament, they lost in the first game to Senegal and were also defeated in the semifinal by 10-man Gambia.
The boys lacked quality, although, there are one or two players who stood out amongst the rest.
At the biggest stage, one or two good players will not be enough, hence, the reason to introduce players of Nigerian descent ready to fight for the badge.
Not saying outrightly push out all the players who picked the tickets but we need to do everything to present the best players for this competition if we are not going to just make up numbers.
Below are 35 players picked by Dafe Otite of Nigeria Football 360.
