LONDON – English Premiership club Fulham haS offered a full contract to 18 year old Nigerian midfielder Chibuzo ‘Chibby’ Nwoko Jnr after his superlative displays with the Fulham U18 and U21 teams.
Chibby is a left footed powerhouse who can play anywhere in midfield but has been more regularly used as a defensive midfield enforcer because of his ability to dictate the pace of games with his calmness on the ball like his hero Sergio Busquets.
He joined Fulham from Chelsea where he also had a stellar spell. His mesmerising displays in the Fulham youth team last season paid off with three goals and four assists.
He has been capped at youth level for England, but those were in friendlies. This means that he is still eligible to represent Nigeria, the country of his parents’ birth, an idea he is very keen on if given the opportunity.
