Top UK agent thumbs up Simoiben FC

CAA Base top football agent Christian Emile made a two-day visit to Nigeria from the United Kingdom, to see players of Simoiben Futball Club.

Simoiben is a Kaduna-based football side owned by Ibukun Moses-Simon, the wife of Nigeria Super Eagles and Nantes FC superstar Moses Simon.

Emile, who represents the Nantes winger, Bayern Munich's France star Kingsley Coman and many more, watched the team in two friendly games in Abuja.

Following his time with the boys and watching them display in the matches, the famous agent was left impressed by what he saw from the players.

"I was quite impressed by the performance and overall attitude of the players at Simoiben," said Emile.

"The future is bright for these talented and hard working players. The management and coaching staff are also doing an amazing job raising very respectful boys.

"Nigerians are incredibly nice, friendly and warm. It's such a great country and I'd love to return again."

CAA Base football consultant Bosun Andoyi, who works closely with Emile in London, is confident the players are on the right track.

Andoyi said: “They have what it takes to reach the top and I believe they are in the right hands to progress.

Founded in 2018, Simoiben has produced players for the country's U17 (Emmanuel Michael), U20 (Benjamin Frederick and Nicholas Jonathan) and U23 (Joshua Ogbole) teams.
