Arsenal legend Patrick Vieira promoted two exciting teenagers of Nigerian descent to Crystal Palace first team training this week, allnigeriasoccer.com understands.

The Eagles boss ran the rule over David Ozoh and David Omilabu during yesterday's session, and the duo trained alongside Nigeria Football Federation target Michael Olise.

An all-action midfielder, Ozoh's playing style has been compared to that of former Manchester City star Yaya Toure.

He joined Crystal Palace on schoolboy terms at U9 level, rising through the ranks before establishing himself as a regular for the club's U18s this season.

The other David, Omilabu does not really need any introduction as he is already known for his goalscoring prowess at youth level for Crystal Palace.

The current Palace U18 Player of the Season scored an impressive 23 goals in 2020-2021, and directly participated in 64 goals (41 goals, 23 assists) in 26 games over the course of 2018-2019.

The three aforementioned Anglo-Nigerian teenagers have been registered as U21 players on Palace's Premier League roster.
