Onyedika is a player I feel will add some balance to the super eagles team in the near future. The only issue I see with him getting a call up is the Super Eagles coach who mostly likes to call up players based on the leagues and competitions they play in and is not ready to give promising players a chance to show what they can do.
Onyedika looks very promising, he has the form the height the good long passes, he is a defensive midfielder who can launch an attack with a good pass and now he scores goals as well.
This may be his first full professional season but I think he may be ready for the big time in no time.
Im following his progress with keen interest.
ONYEDIKA REMINDS ME OF SUNDAY OLISEH. IN THIS MATCH AGAINST RANDERS HE WAS THE MAN OF THE MATCH CLEARLY. 2 GOALS AND AN ASSIST. HE JOINS THE ATTACK EFFORTLESSLY AND ALSO HAS DECENT BALL PLAYING SKILLS, WITH GOOD ENERGY. HE IS A DIAMOND IN THE ROUGH. ALL HE NEEDS IS A LITTLE TWEEK HERE AND THERE AND HE WILL BE READY FOR THE BIG TIME. I WOULD DROP BONKE FOR HIM AND ALLOW HIM GROW WiITH THE SUPER EAGLES TEAM.
STEPHEN ODEY ALSO SCORED A NICE GOAL IN THE MATCH. BIG UPS TO HIM
The young man is paying not like Sunday Oliseh at all. He is far far more technical, faster and a great ball player unlike Oliseh who may be regarded as being more powerful and physical.
l am also following the young Onyedika bcos he is interesting to watch.
The only problem he may face trying to force his way into d super eagles midfield is time. He might have come at a time when Frank Onyeka who is also young seems to be the deputy to Ndidi. We also have Aribo and Etebo. By, for all l know any him, the next 1 yr. or so would be perfect for him bcos his talents must have been seen everywhere around the world.
The guy is simply good to play with Ndidi and Ejaria in the same midfield.
Thanks.
