Taribo West, Akpoborie, Top Italian Scouts Set To Storm National Stadium For Samvic Football Talent Hunt

Retired Nigeria internationals Jonathan Akpoborie and Taribo West plus ex Enyimba coach Godfrey Esu are some of the high profile football personalities expected at the Samvic Football Academy Talent Hunt which begins later this month in Lagos.

Joining the trio are AC Milan top talent spotter Monaco Salvatore and his Italian counterpart Bega Francesco, who scouts for Genoa.

Samuel Egbukwu, the proprietor of  nursery team, Samvic Football Academy, have invited them to run the rule over some Nigerian youngsters during a screening exercise which will hold at Synthetic Pitch, National Stadium from November 25 - 27.

Samuel Egbukwu, a philanthropist and the sole financier of the Academy, has insisted that these aspiring footballers will not have to part with a single dime to participate in the Talent Hunt, as part of his social responsibility to the community.

The Italian scouts in conjunction with Taribo West and Jonathan Akpoborie will highlight the names of players who distinguish themselves at the Talent Hunt with a view of facilitating trials for them in top European teams.

In a similar talent hunt organized by Samvic Football Academy earlier this year, Apeh Emmanuel and Godwin Alex Joseph were discovered and invited to train with Inter Milan.

Talented players from all the states in Nigeria are invited to participate in the screening exercise free of charge.
