Eaglets coach begs Keshi to admit his boys in Super Eagles

Golden Eaglets coach Manu Garba has asked national coach Stephen Keshi to give some of his players a chance to train with the full Super Eagles squad, but admits that next year’s World Cup might be a bridge too far for them.
“I want to appeal to Keshi to give some of the Eaglets a chance to train with the senior national team as that will be of immense benefit to them in the future,” Manu said.
The Golden Eaglets have swept all in their path to reach the Final against Mexico on Friday, playing a brand of football that has captivated fans and destroyed opponents.
The likes of Kelechi Iheanacho, Chidera Ezeh and Taiwo Awoniyi have stood out, and Manu believes they can get their senior opportunity.

“I believe that some of my players are good enough for the Super Eagles,” he said. “They can even play at next year’s World Cup, although it may be too early for them.
Mikel tips ‘wonderful’ Eaglets
Chelsea star Mikel Obi has tipped Nigeria to win a record fourth U17 World Cup on Friday, describing the team as “wonderful”.
The Golden Eaglets face Mexico in Friday’s final in Abu Dhabi after a superlative run in the tournament and Mikel said they will be champions again if they are not over confident.
“They are great kids. They play wonderful football. I salute them and their coaching crew for wonderful job. I believe they will be the champions,” said Mikel, who featured at the 2003 U17 World Cup, where Nigeria failed to go past the group stage.
“All they need is not to think about the trophy before playing the final match, but I see them winning the trophy.”
Several other Eagles stars have also thrown their weight behind the U17s.
