Flying Eagles Coach, Ladan Bosso, has said new Super Eagles Head
Coach, Finidi George, will not be taking any risks to invite Benjamin Frederick for next month’s must-win World Cup qualifiers against South Africa and Benin.
Frederick, 18, has signed a four-year contract with Premier League club Brentford after he first shone with the Flying Eagles under Bosso last year.
“Benjamin Frederick is already ripe for the Super Eagles,” a proud Bosso told SCORENigeria
“This is a boy who has made the big jump, from Nigeria and directly to the Premier League.
“The (Super Eagles) matches against South Africa and Benin next month are very important matches, but even if we were to play against world champions Argentina, Frederick will be good to go.”
Bosso was full of praise for the class and versatility of the former Flying Eagles star.
“He’s one player who I call small but mighty,” the Flying Eagles coach remarked.
“His football intelligence is great.
“He is also versatile as he can play at right back, central defence or even as a box-to-box midfielder.
“At the U20 World Cup in Argentina, he was at his best, we could not do without him.”
Elderson Echejile, Brown Ideye, Efe Ambrose, Chukwuma Akabueze and Ikechukwu Ezenwa featured for the Flying Eagles under Bosso in the 2007 U20 World Cup in Canada before they went on to feature for the Super Eagles.
