Nigeria’s Flying Eagles have received a boost to their defensive options following the arrival of teenage sensation, Haruna Aliyu, in Chile.
The promising defender, who plies his trade with Wikki Tourists FC, was called up as a late replacement for Freedom Marvelous, who was sidelined by injury.
Aliyu’s inclusion is expected to inject fresh energy into the backline. Known for his doggedness, resilience, and tactical awareness, the youngster has already been tipped as one of the most exciting defensive prospects in Nigerian football.
