Babayaro: Chelsea's Moses, Arsenal's Iwobi Not In The Same Class As Kanu, Okocha
Published: July 10, 2017
Former Nigeria U23 international Emmanuel Babayaro has posited that the likes of Arsenal striker Alex Iwobi and Chelsea wing-back Victor Moses are not in the same class as his former teammates Nwankwo Kanu and Austin Okocha.
Babayaro has argued that the current Super Eagles players are not as valuable as the past stars, adding that they earn less and not as disciplined.
''The old retired players of the Super Eagles are far more valuable than those around today,'' Babayaro told Brila FM.
''We don't have talented or disciplined players today. They don't even earn as much as some did in the past.''
Now 40, Babayaro was a member of the original Dream Team that won the gold medal at the 1996 Olympic Games.
