Published: October 21, 2016
Nansel Selbol has expressed his happiness after netting on his debut for Sporting Kansas in their 3-1 win over Trinidad and Tobago side Central FC in Wednesday night’s CONCACAF Champions League game.
The 19-year-old scored the game-winner for SKC in the 55th minute, firing home from 20 yards and would have bagged two more goals but was denied by the woodwork.
“I feel very happy about the game. I thank [Manager Peter Vermes] for giving me the opportunity to play today, ” said Selbol in his post match comments, according to sportingkc.com.
“I was very happy to score the goal because I am playing for the first team and it’s a big opportunity and a chance for me.”
He added : “I thought that was in. The goalkeeper didn’t even see it and the defender didn’t know I was going to play it. Already, I was trying to turn and celebrate, but unfortunately it didn’t happen like that.”
Allnigeriasoccer.com understands that a representative of Arsenal is keeping tabs on the progress of Selbol with a view to a possible transfer to the Emirates outfit in the near future.
