Fresh Prince of MTL Posted August 31 Share Posted August 31 After a little reading he has attended youth camps for Canada and Nigeria. Born in Benin but moved to Canada at 4. He’s played 17 of 21 games for Cavalry this season and has 2 goals 2 assists. The press release makes it seem like the loan will end with a permanent purchase that will break the CPL transfer record.

Olympique_de_Marseille Posted August 31 Share Posted August 31 (edited) I wonder if he has a "Davies"-like situation where he attended youth camps without actually having a Canadian passport. Does he have 🇨🇦 citizenship? Edited August 31 by Olympique_de_Marseille Jack1997 and Dominic94 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Footyeh Posted August 31 Share Posted August 31 Surprising move after not exactly lighting up the CPL but I'm all for it. Hopefully he can get into the team and build a career in Europe CanadaFan123 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You know your southern alberta soccer! One of the claims of goteh growing up was that his biological age and his given age were not the same. 10 minutes ago, Big_M said: Cavalry says he was born in Nigeria, Canada Soccer says he was born in Benin and Transfermarkt says born in Benin but Nigerian and Canadian citizenship...which one is it?? Although this move comes seemingly out of no where, Niendorf has extremely strong connections in europe so its not a surprising move as hes gotehs agent. Niendorf developed and kickstarted careers for hargreaves, mckenna, hirschfield, ledgerwood, straith, kennedy just to name a few.

The press release makes it seem like the loan will end with a permanent purchase that will break the CPL transfer record. I believe hes nigerian/canadian. Not Benin. As for CMNT youth camps. I dont think hes ever attended a camp. After they disbanded NTC, they created a showcase tournament where the pro youth clubs would send a team and then they also put together an "all-star" team of players not commited to a pro academy. They were given youth canada jerseys to wear but thats not the same as being called up to a national team camp. Edit: It doesnt appear he ever played for nigeria either like wikipedia states. https://owngoalnigeria.com/2019/10/18/official-manu-garba-release-final-nigeria-u17-21-man-squad-for-u17-world-youth-championship/ Edited August 31 by Bigandy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe abzi was more than a squad player though. He was consistently performing and starting. Goteh is still just a squad player.
