Seven years after reaping the rewards of putting faith in Taye Taiwo, Olympique de Marseille are once again ready to sign two strikers from Nigeria who are scoring at free will at the moment
Absence from the European competitions next season will mean that Olympique de Marseille would be forced to tighten their belts. As things stand, qualifying for the Europa League would be a massive achievement. Therefore, through sales of some players this
summer, Marseille might be able to recruit a few players who would help the club regain lost glory.
Almost seven years ago, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/France-c2899 before leaving for AC Milan last year.
Now, OM are looking towards Nigeria once again. Young strikers Babadidi Mustapha (Gombe United) and Chikeluba Ofoedu (Enugu http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Rangers-c40314) are two players, Sporting Director Jose Anigo wants to bring to the Velodrome.
16-year-old Mustapha has been under the radar of Marseille for quite some time as has Ofoedu (20-years-old). The two strikers are regarded as the best strikers in http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Nigeria-c2970 in recent times and Anigo is willing to offer the duo a chance to impress themselves
in Ligue 1.
Mustapha is currently the top scorer of the Nigerian Premier League with 9 goals. However, the Nigerian’s international career is yet to begin after suffering a knee injury.
On the other hand, Ofoedu is a player which many people in Nigeria feel has a great future ahead of him.
“Scoring goals comes naturally to me and when I do not score, I am no longer myself for a few days. For my style, I copy Pato and I hope to be like him.”
Fast and technical, both strikers are certainly great stars for the future and Marseille should take their chances on the duo especially Ofoedu who has been the real star of the Nigerian Premier League this seasons.
Apart from scoring goals, Ofoedu has shown a lot of maturity and has become a popular name amongst foreign scouts who are amazed with the tactical noose of the youngster.
