This follows information out of England revealing that the Queen’s country has included both Eze and Madueke in their youth squad for the March 24 to 31 UEFA Championship, thereby setting them on the path of a solid foundation for future thrills with the nation of their birth.
The odds could dangle against Nigeria Football Snatching (NFF) snatching both fast-rising youngsters for the Super Eagles in coming years, as England’s youth team coach, Aidy Boothroyd included Eze and Madueke in his 23-man squad to face Portugal, Croatia and Switzerland in Group D.
