The young agile player is relishing working under Coach Fatai oshos tutelage.He’s operating with confidence, conviction and intensity, and his contribution has extended far beyond just goals.
His movement is a great place to start, with this aspect of his game benefiting both he and his teammates extremely well. Constantly scanning his surroundings, the Plateauborn player(irigwe) is always on the lookout for openings to exploit in order to destabilize his opponent.
Whether dropping deep to link play, venturing out wide, surging in behind, fluidly interchanging position with his colleagues or through his out-to-in diagonal runs, has been a very tough man to contain.
Although many of his intelligent runs have gone unrewarded, there's been plenty of instances where his movement and spatial awareness have directly and indirectly led to chances and goals..especially from last two seasons.
