Nigeria U23s Coach Siasia Monitoring Sporting Kansas Starlet Nansel Selbol

Allnigeriasoccer.com understands that Sporting Kansas City rising star Nansel Selbol is on the radar of the Nigeria U23 coach.

The substantive coach of the Dream Team VI, Samson Siasia, had wanted to invite the 18-year-old for the international friendly against Brazil last month but later jettisoned the idea as he had already drawn up his list of players.

But Siasia has not locked up Selbol’s case in the drawer and plans to run the rule over the talented striker at a training camp prior to the 2016 Olympic Games in Rio.

The offensive all-rounder trained with the Golden Eaglets prior to the 2013 Fifa Under 17 World Cup but narrowly failed to make the 21-player roster for the tournament in United Arab Emirates.

Selbol netted his first professional goal for Swope Park Rangers in their 2-1 win over Tulsa Roughnecks FC this past weekend.
