Former Chelsea goalkeeper Daniel Jinadu was rated highly by the Nigeria Football Federation following his debut against Japan on Sunday in the Golden Eaglets final friendly before their World Cup opener.
According to the match report published by the official website of the Nigerian Federation, the scoreline would have been greater in favour of the Asian opponents but for a brilliant display by the West Ham U18 star.
Here's what the NFF wrote about Jinadu : ''With Japan now having more of the ball possessions, they tried to break the defence of the Eaglets, but Daniel Jinadu, the teenage goalkeeper from West Ham United, England denied Tamura Sohki from giving Japan the lead in the 17th minute.
''Jinadu was again called to action with a world class save after he parried the shot from Tayata Shoji to a corner kick, the resultant corner kick was headed out of danger by Ikenna Ferdinand''.

Jinadu first trained with the Golden Eaglets in August 2019 and allnigeriasoccer.com can reveal that coach Manu Garba was forced to include him in the provisional squad by his chief scout Bunmi Haruna, who extensively scouted the goalkeeper before he was invited to the training camp in Abuja,
The 17-year-old is battling Sunday Stephen and Bournemouth Academy product Joseph Oluwabusola for a starting spot against Hungary.
