Versatile Nigerian Defender Toby Omole Fulfilling His Talents At Arsenal

Defender Toby Omole is progressing well in his development at English Premier League club Arsenal .<br /><br />Raised in the United Kingdom, Omole is eligible to represent the Nigerian teams, so a lot of Nigerians back home are monitoring his progress at the Emirates. <br /><br />The teenager is primarily a central defender but has proved that he can be handy at left-back, having starred in Arsenal&rsquo;s 1-1 draw with Swansea City last weekend in that position following the unavailability of other players. <br /><br />Arsenal youth-team expert Jeorge Bird wrote : &ldquo;Omole is usually deployed at centre-back, but, with Pileas and Bola not available, he was moved across to left-back against Swansea. <br /><br />&ldquo;The 16-year-old was impressive as he frequently made forays down the flank and produced some incisive crosses.&rdquo;<br /><br />A product of Hale End Academy that produced the likes of Chuba Akpom and Alex Iwobi, Omole penned a scholarship deal with the Gunners this summer. <br /><br />Ifeanyi Emmanuel <br /><br />Photo Credit : arsenalyouth.wordpress.com<br />
