He has been described as a box-to-box midfielder who possesses boundless energy and is able to support defensive play in addition to his natural attacking talents. He is known for making runs from deep and arriving in the box from midfield to complete attacking moves. His versatility has also seen him play in the right-back position for both club and his national team.

The last Nigerian we had called Peter was pretty good so, I'm hopeful.

We're keeping the long-term deals going then.
Another 5-year job.
Presumably it's a lot more manageable financially than some of our more interesting Premier League contracts!

That first touch in that first clip was more like Diouf! Good finish though (less like Diouf) 😂 |

His first touch on this video is right out of Dioufs locker! |

He came on at half time against England. If anyone still has the game or highlights saved - he was number 8.

Confederation of African Football most promising talent of the year 2015.
Mo Salah won it in 2012, Iheanacho in 2013 and 2016.

Never heard of him, no idea if he’s any good.....but it’s the excuse I’ve been waiting for. Buying a Nigeria top with his name on the back 😁

He sounds like another Joe Allen. Says he completed 92% of his passes though! Allen could only dream of such a high pass completion rate. |

Badou replacement at less than half what we will get for him when he is sold. Young, physical, good engine - just the job.
Nigeria did look better once he came on at Wembley, not that I focused on his performance particularly.
