Those are the ones I know, unless you want me to post the over 50 Yoruba teenagers playing for the different academies of EPL teams. Err...I'll post Ola Aina, Odubajo, and a next guy playing for Man City. They're decent prospects. Missy89, post a few females...What's the name of that volleyball player I posted a few weeks ago?

Moses Odubajo ![]() Moses Adeshina Ayoola Junior Odubajo (born 28 July 1993) is an English professional footballer who plays as a right winger or right back for Championship club Hull City. He has also represented England at U20 level. Odubajo is a product of the Leyton Orient youth system. Born in Greenwich, London, Odubajo began his career at age 14 with local team Millwall, spending time with the club on trial, before leaving football behind following the death of his mother. He returned to Millwall following a break from the game, but failed to win a scholarship deal. Odubajo was recommend by the Lions to Leyton Orient and went on trial with the club, playing youth team matches. He was offered a scholarship by youth team manager Wayne Burnett, though the manager later changed his mind about the deal. Burnett left Orient in the summer of 2009 and Odubajo returned to the club, impressing new youth team manager Andy Edwards and finally winning a scholarship deal. He appeared for the youth team during the 2009–10 season, helping the team into the fourth round of the FA Youth Cup. Odubajo received his first call up to the senior squad for a League One match versus Notts County on 18 September 2010.[4] Awarded the number 26 shirt, he remained on the bench for the 3–2 defeat and was an unused substitute on another nine occasions during the 2010–11 season. Odubajo scored three goals in 23 appearances for the Orient youth team during the 2010–11 season and signed a one-year professional contract with the club on 29 April 2011. |

Ritchiee: This is what i mean.We should focus more on education and tech because tech is the future and i'm happy Yorubas have cornered this sector which is a step in the right direction.An independent yorubaland will even make it better.What we should focus more on is how to invest in these two sectors since we're already doing well.Why do you think yoruba women dominate tech while some people are selling ugu? are you jealous of those who sell ugu?

Tosin Adarabioyo ![]() Manchester City's Under-18s captain wants to follow Vincent Kompany's lead to success. Whoever he comes up against, Tosin Adarabioyo just wants to be the best. In addition to skippering the Under-18s this season, the Manchester City youngster has played in the Under-19s UEFA Youth League and Under-21 Premier League and each time the motivation is the same. "To be honest I just want to win every game we get to", he said. "During the game obviously we're developing, becoming better players and learning more but I just want to win that youth Champions League. That's my main target - I'd do anything to win really. "It is good to know that if we progress in this then we're basically the best team in Europe at our age." Adarabioyo, 17, has stepped up to play all six games in the UEFA Youth League this season, part of a backline that conceded just four goals to help City to a 100 per cent record in the group stage. Not that his development should come as a surprise. The starlet is used to being given responsibilities beyond his age, and will be part of the EDS team away to Norwich on Wednesday who are aiming to bounce back from three consecutive losses. Under-18s coach Jason Wilcox called Adarabioyo into his office this summer to give the then-16-year-old captaincy of the team. Was he expecting to be given the role? "I wanted it," he grinned. "I really wanted it. I think I am a leader anyway so it is just part of me really." It seems apparent that the young Englishman is not hide his ambition. Just as important though is his willingness to admit areas to improve. Adapting to the differences in dealing with European opposition in the UEFA Youth League has been 'challenging', while Adarabioyo acknowledged that Under-21 level is a lot harder physically. "The intensity is higher so I just have to try and keep up with them and move the ball as quick as we can," he added. Similarly, when giving his assessment of the season so far for the Under-18s he said: "At the start I wasn't playing so well but I think I have started to play very well and started to lead the team as I am captain so my relationship skills have got a lot better." The England Under-18 international is happy to improve and work on his game to build on his weaknesses. It can't hinder his development that the centre-back he most enjoys watching in the Premier League - Vincent Kompany - is at the same training complex every day. "I love his aggression and his dominance when he's playing," enthused Adarabioyo. "It just shows how he works every day and it shows that I have to work the same as he does to get to the level he is at now - and hopefully be better than him!" |

Bobby Adekanye ![]() Former Barcelona youngster Bobby Adekanye confirmed his move to Liverpool on Instagram yesterday. The 16-year-old posted a picture of himself in the club's media room after penning a deal with the Reds. Alongside the picture, he wrote: "I am very happy to sign for Liverpool." The player joined Barcelona from Ajax in controversial circumstances in 2011, which led to the club becoming embroiled in a dispute with FIFA over their recruitment of young players. Adekanye spent last season on loan at PSV Eindhoven as the dispute rumbled on, before Liverpool managed to snap him up earlier this week. To 99.9 per cent of us, Adekanye is an unknown quantity, so its probably time to find out a bit more about him. 2 Likes |
