Published: June 11, 2020

Carlo Ancelotti is monitoring two Nigerian midfielders in the shape of Alex Iwobi and Dennis Adeniran in training sessions ahead of the English Premier League restart, allnigeriasoccer.com reports.

The Toffees 2019-2020 campaign gets back underway on Sunday, June 21 when they tackle champions-in-waiting Liverpool at Goodison Park behind closed doors.

Nigeria international Alex Iwobi is gearing up for his first Merseyside derby this decade, having missed the 1-0 loss to the Reds on January 5 due to a hamstring injury, and has been spotted training with the Everton squad this week.

The next player of Nigerian descent tipped to make his debut for the Toffees first team, Adeniran has been promoted to first team training by the Italian football tactician (see photo).

The 21-year-old has been knocking on the first team door this season and was a non-playing substitute in the loss to Leicester City in the quarterfinal of the League Cup back in December.

A player with a lot of talent, Adeniran represented England at the 2016 U17 European Championship and has also featured for his country of birth at U18 and U19 levels.

The former Fulham starlet appeared in 14 matches in the Premier League 2 this term, scoring two goals.
