Keshi to visit Arsenal, Liverpool watch Nigerian players Super Eagles coach Stephen is set for a trip to England to convince young Nigerian players to play for Nigeria. Top on the list are Arsenal duo of Chuks Aneke and Chuba Akpom. Liverpool player Jordan Ashley Ibe is also on the Big Boss’ list. Ibe, who joined Liverpool from Wycombe Wanderers, has featured for the England under-18 national team, but is still eligible to play for Nigeria, if he decides to switch nationality when approached. The 18 year-old could become the next youngster from the English Premier League to don Nigeria’s green-and-white colour at full international level, as coach Keshi has apparently turned his searchlight towards luring the Anfiedl lad to play for his father’s country. Arsenal and League one club Crewe Alexandra have agreed a loan deal to for Nigerian youngster Chuks Aneke. The England Under-19 midfielder who spent two productive spells with Crewe last season have been in talks with the club according to media reports. Chuba Akpom continued his fine form in Arsenal colors by getting on the score sheet as an Arsenal youth XI side fought from behind to secure a draw in the last minute against League One outfit Leyton Orient on Tuesday 30 July 2013. With this in view, Keshi appears to be moving fast, as The Big Boss has hinted that he plans to make a trip to England in order to watch the Liverpool youngster in action live. David Amoo who plays for Carlisle United in League One is also being considered among other players.
