“l am here to show the coaches what I can do. I have trained very hard to be here and just want to play football,” Osimhen said after his first training with the Flying Eagles on Wednesday.

The Flying Eagles will take on Burundi in their first matchof the 2017 Africa U-20 Cup of Nations qualifying series away in Bujumbura on the weekend of May 20-22.
Presently, over 50 players are sweating it out twice daily as the battle for shirts intensifies.
