SAVIOUR GODWIN: FLYING EAGLES JOKER AT WYC





Much has been made about the impact Moses Simon,Isaac Success and Kelechi Iheanacho will have for Nigeria at the upcoming World Youth Championship but less is said about Saviour Godwin the 19 year old who gatecrashed the Nigeria 21 man squad for the World cup.

The striker who was unheralded at Under-17 level two years ago for Nigeria when they won the world cup rose from a two years wilderness with Nigeria youth team to becoming a part of coach Samson Siasia Un der-23 team from where his impressive form alerted handlers of the Nigeria Under-20.

His form in camp both in Abuja and Germany was good enough to help him displace team forward Ibrahim Alhassan who played in all of the team qualifying games for the Africa Youth Championship and also played some games as they romp to the AYC title two months ago.

Saviour still has a big task in his hands as regards breaking into the team starting line ups in the tournament proper but his constant goal scoring feats in training and friendly games means he can be a joker when the Flying Eagles need fresh ideas from the bench.
