Exciting Winger Bennetts, Three Other Nigerian Talents Make Spurs UEFA Youth League Squad

Four Nigerian talents have been named to Tottenham Hotspur’s roster for the UEFA Youth League, according to the official website of European football’s governing body UEFA.

England U17 international Timothy Eyoma, whose elder brother Aaron has been listed by Arsenal for the competition, is joined on the list by the highly-rated midfielder Moroyin Omolabi, Aramide Oteh and Keanen Bennetts.

Keanen Bennetts , 17, has caps for Germany’s U15 team and England U17s, but remains eligible to play for the senior team of Nigeria and it is known that the Nigeria Football Federation are monitoring his progress at Spurs.

The aforementioned players have never played in the UEFA Youth League, with the White Hart Lane outfit last featuring in the Champions League five years ago, before they qualified for this season’s edition.

The Spurs U19s will tackle CSKA Moscow, Bayer Leverkusen and Monaco in Group E.
