‘I’m proud of you’ – Moses Simon extols academy product stealing headlines with U-17

The Super Eagles forward owns an academy known as the Simoiben Football Club and one of the players from the centre is the man of the moment

Emmanuel Michael has been a revelation so far at the ongoing WAFU B U-17 Cup. The attacking midfielder who has been converted to the left back position has scored three free-kick goals so far at the tournament and is adept at dead balls.

In the three games played so far by the Golden Eaglets, he has won the man-of-the-match award in as many matches and the man who owns where he plies his trade, Moses Simon has revealed how happy he is about his feats.

His academy, based in Kaduna, Northwest Nigeria is helping to take youths off the streets and give them a shot at stardom and prominence through football.

Michael has proven to be one for the future and a player that will be exciting to see for the future as his goals and technique have helped the team achieve their target of picking a ticket for the U-17 AFCON in Algeria.
