Players to Watch

Jordan Ayew (Ghana)

The 33-year-old forward is going to play an important role in the attacking front for Ghana. Jordan Ayew plays for Leicester City in the English Premier League and has only been able to come up with average performances. With his experience, he is going to cause issues for Nigeria’s defence.

Nathan Tella (Nigeria)

As Victor Osimhen is not picked up, it will be Bayer Leverkusen forward Nathan Tella who will play a crucial role in the attacking front for his team. Tella has come up with some decent performances this season and it is now time to perform for the national team. With his ability to find spaces in the final third, he is going to cause problems for the opponent’s defence.
