Nigerian-born German Under-17 magical defensive midfielder Bob Okezie, popularly known as Bob, is a striker Nigeria needs now for Brazil 2019 FIFA U17 World Cup.
Bob Okezie was born in 2002 in Potsdam city, Germany, and started his football career at the age of 6 at Fortuna Babelsberg football academy.
According to his Dad, Bob has visited Nigeria so often where he learnt the words “quacking”, “shoot heavily” and “control your ball”, etc.
In 2015 his club SV Babelsberg 03 won the Brandenburg State Junior League (state junior championship) and the Nigerian whizkid won the golden booth.
Asked if the 17-year-old Vikotoria Berlin star will like to play for Nigeria’s Golden Eaglets, the father, Chief Nweke, replied: “Of course, if Nigeria needs him, Bobby will play. I will like him to join Manu Garba Boys.”
Bob is currently the top striker in his third club Vikotoria Berlin 1889 U17 and the fourth highest goal scorer in Nord ost (North East) U17 regional league in Germany. He joined the club in the middle of last season from SV Babelsberg 03 before the end of transfer window. He wears the No 9 shirt for his club and has scored more than 14 goals in his career.
Nigeria needs such an experienced striker to fill the gap in the Brazil-bound Golden Eaglets.
