* Down Niger 2-0

The Golden Eaglets Sunday got off to a winning start in the African U17 Championship after they defeated hosts Niger 2-0.

Striker Victor Osimhen gave the Nigeria U17s the lead after 18 minutes, before skipper Kelechi Nwakali doubled the advantage two minutes later through a free kick goal.

In the second half, spent six months on loan at Norwich City last season, left Turkish side Fenerbahce in August 2014 after his contract was ended by mutual consent.

But the free agent, who has not played competitively since last summer’s World Cup in Brazil, believes he still has plenty to offer.
“I have really looked after myself and I know I can still play at the top level,” Yobo told BBC Sport.

“The most important thing is to stay in good shape and that’s exactly what I have been doing.

“I still have some clubs who have shown significant interest in me.

“I’ll be the first to hang up my football boots if I feel I can no longer perform to the best of my ability or expectations.”

His country’s most capped player, Yobo called time on his international career following the Super Eagles’ exit from the World Cup in Brazil.
