Could Talented Striker Labelled The New Ibrahimovic Be The Missing Piece In The Jigsaw For Flying Eagles
Published: March 27, 2019
Norwich City youngster, Adam Idah has continued to fulfill his promise which has been glaringly obvious for a long time, as the Nigeria-eligible teenager yet again gave everyone another glimpse of his quality during the international break.
Making his debut for the Ireland U21s last Sunday, his double to put Luxembourg to the sword seemed to have gone under the radar, but that has done little to take away the quality of the goals which he has become accustomed to scoring.
With Nigeria having secured a place at the U-20 World Cup which comes up later this year, it would make sense if Paul Aigbogun and his crew pull out all stops to try to lure the talented striker with the prestige of the widely watched competition, particularly with Ireland missing out on the tournament.
Making his debut for the Ireland U21s last Sunday, his double to put Luxembourg to the sword seemed to have gone under the radar, but that has done little to take away the quality of the goals which he has become accustomed to scoring.
His first at the Tallaght Stadium exuded the aura of a goal-freak, shrugging of markers to dart into the area and guide a delightful header home, some stuff the man he has been likened to will be proud of.
And he rounded off the scoring in the second period in similar predatory fashion, side footing home after he has been teed up by Conor.
He has been compared to the game's super star, Zlatan Ibrahimovic in the past due to his imposing physique, fearless approach to scoring goals in spite of his tender years and it is looking increasingly likely a top club would look to poach him away from Carrow Road in no distant time.

Having not scored much during their continental adventure in Niger, the Flying Eagles will undoubtedly need the services of the 18-year-old if they are to get past the likes of Qatar, Ukraine and USA.
