Why Flying Eagles GK Akpan Udoh Conceded Cheap Goals Against Sudan

It has come to light that Flying Eagles goalkeeper Akpan Udoh was off-colour during the national team&rsquo;s&nbsp; 4-3 loss to Sudan in an Africa U20 Cup of Nations qualifier on Saturday because of uncertainties surrounding his future.<br /><br />Accusing fingers have been pointed at retired Nigeria international Danny Shittu, who promised the youngster a club after the Fifa U17 World Cup but has not been able to deliver, and this affected the psychology of the player.<br /><br />&ldquo;Before the game Udoh has been despondent and has been lamenting that Shittu has not been able to get him a club in Europe, &rdquo;a source close to Udoh told <b>allnigeriasoccer.com</b>.<br /><br />&ldquo;But goalkeepers don&rsquo;t move easily. Amos Benjamin, the reserve goalkeeper, has already found a club in Italy but Udoh that was in goal during the World Cup is being fooled around.<br /><br />&ldquo;He has been crying because everyone is blaming him for the defeat and he conceded cheap goals.&rdquo;<br /><br />Akpan Udoh was on the books of Remo Academy during the 2015 Fifa Under 17 World Cup and becomes eligible to sign a professional contract next summer. <br /><br />Ifeanyi Emmanuel <br /><br />Photo Credit : fifa.com<br />
