Good Job Osimhen. a player who is career driven not by money. that generation of 2015 Under 17 group have the mentality of Cristiano Ronaldo and them. In the days of Obafemi Martins I remember Nigerians used to move to clubs for Money. NOt these lot these boys are driven by ambition they want to reach great heights knowing full well More Money will even come once they do.
That is right Ugo you said , so Super Eagles stars must adivce each other to join big clubs than joining small clubs for money; big clubs offer good contracts, excellent coaches,nice fans, beatiful city to live with fans, excellent, have soul of championship which will benefit you and Super Eagles.
