Super Eagles legend Nwankwo Kanu moved by 4-word message from departed 18-year-old Nigerian youth international

Super Eagles legend Nwankwo Kanu has expressed his approval of a heartfelt message shared by Izuogu Chibueze, the talented 18-year-old Nigerian youth international who recently left Enyimba FC for a European adventure.

Chibueze, who has joined CSF Spartanii of Moldova on a season-long loan for the 2024/2025 campaign, took to social media to share his current situation.

The young midfielder posted on Threads pictures of his new base in Moldova along with a simple yet powerful four-word message:

This expression of faith clearly resonated with Kanu, who serves as chairman of Nigeria’s most successful club side Enyimba.

The former Arsenal and Inter Milan star responded with an enthusiastic "Yes, yes, yes," demonstrating his support for the youngster's spiritual conviction.

The loan move, announced by Nigerian Premier Football League giants Enyimba, is designed to provide Chibueze with valuable experience in the Moldovan National Division.

It marks a significant step in the career of the promising talent, who has already made a name for himself both domestically and internationally.

Earlier this year, Chibueze showcased his abilities on the continental stage, impressing Nigeria's Flying Eagles at the African Games in Ghana.

His performance, which included two goals and one assist in three appearances, highlighted his potential as a future star for the Super Eagles.

Chibueze’s decision to embark on this new chapter in his career also got support from a football icon like Kanu which could prove invaluable.

The legendary striker's endorsement of both Chibueze's footballing talent and his faith shows the holistic approach to player development that Kanu is fostering at Enyimba.

This transfer represents not just a sporting opportunity for Chibueze, but also a chance for personal growth.

As he adapts to life in Moldova and faces new challenges on the pitch, the young midfielder carries with him the well-wishes of Nigerian football fans and the spiritual encouragement of one of the country's greatest-ever players.
