Abuja, Nigeria — Super Eagles head coach, Eric Chelle, has traveled to Europe as part of his ongoing engagements with Nigerian players based on the continent.
Scouting and Player Consultations
During his trip, the 47-year-old tactician will meet with potential Super Eagles prospects while maintaining discussions with current squad members. Chelle, who has only overseen two official matches since his appointment, is keen on reinforcing his squad ahead of the next international window.
Evaluating New Talent
Under Chelle’s leadership, Nigeria secured a 2-0 victory against Rwanda and a 1-1 draw with Zimbabwe in the 2026 FIFA World Cup qualifiers. Now, the Malian-born coach is considering fresh additions to strengthen his team.
One of the top prospects under review is Arsenal’s 17-year-old midfielder, Ethan Nwaneri. Despite representing England at youth levels, Nwaneri remains eligible to play for Nigeria. His breakthrough season under Mikel Arteta has positioned him as a promising talent for the Super Eagles.
Chelle’s European visit underscores his commitment to assembling a competitive squad as Nigeria prepares for upcoming international fixtures.
