Nigeria looking to cap Norwich youngster
Nigeria are looking to cap Norwich youngster Diallang Jaiyesimi in the near future in a bid to secure his international career, according to All Nigeria Soccer.
The report says that Nigeria rate Jaiyesimi very highly and want to make sure he commits his future to the country. The attacking midfielder is eligible to play for Nigeria or England, which is why Nigeria want to tie him down as quickly as possible.
The 17-year-old is seen as one of the next best Nigerian’s in England, and is expected to break into the Norwich first-team sooner rather than later. The talented teenager has already caught the eye at Norwich and is currently on a pre-season tour of Austria with the under-23 side.
Jaiyesimi plays in attacking midfield and the backroom staff at Norwich have been impressed with the level of consistency he has shown, despite his tender age.
Nigeria will be hoping that he chooses them to represent at international level.
