18-year-old Enyimba wonderkid impresses with free kick routine as NPFL champions host Heartland

Enyimba's 18-year-old sensation Chibueze Izuogu has shared footage of himself nailing free kick after free kick during a practice session.

Pulse Sports Nigeria reports that the youngster’s video hints at a potential set-piece masterclass when the Nigerian Premier Football League (NPFL) resumes on Tuesday.

Izuogu, who has already made a name for himself with a stunning goal for Nigeria's Flying Eagles at the recent African Games in Ghana, posted the video on his Instagram account, showcasing his impressive technique as he converted all but one of his attempts.

The talented youngster has proven he can translate his ball-striking ability into competitive situations, having also scored his first goal for Enyimba during a 2-1 win over Shooting Stars earlier in the season with a long-range strike.

As the league prepares to hit the ground running with match day 30, Izuogu and his Enyimba teammates will welcome local rivals Heartland to the Aba Stadium in a highly anticipated Oriental derby.

The People's Elephant will be counting on Izuogu's free-kick mastery to help them secure a vital three points and maintain their push for the league title, and the 18-year-old will be eager to showcase his set-piece expertise on the big stage.

With his impressive free-kick ability and eye for goal, Chibueze Izuogu is undoubtedly one of the rising stars to watch in the NPFL, and his latest practice session has only heightened the anticipation for his performance when the league resumes.
